At the Quay
Description
The painting depicts a scene of the Antwerp quay, with several sailboats prominently in the foreground. The masts and sails of the ships are painted in warm colors, contrasting with the cooler tones of the water and sky. Two sailors are on the deck of one of the ships, adding a human element and providing a sense of scale to the painting.
The subtle details and harmonious color choices contribute to a calm, almost nostalgic atmosphere. It reflects the beginning of a new day and the beauty of a harbor city at sunrise.
The piece is framed in a gold frame with hints of burgundy tones. The multiple borders of the frame give it a classic appearance.
