About the piece

Created around 1840 by Harro Harring, this gouache painting captures the iconic coastal peaks of Rio de Janeiro. The composition features a traditional sailing vessel in the foreground, rendered in rich sepia tones that contrast with the atmospheric, misty treatment of the distant mountains.
