About the piece
Painted in 1840 by Harro Harring, this gouache on paper captures the majestic entrance to the bay of Rio de Janeiro. The composition features several sailing ships navigating the waters beneath the dramatic silhouettes of Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar), rendered in a refined monochromatic palette that highlights the interplay of light and maritime atmosphere.
