About this work
The water is painted in soft blues and greens, with quick brushstrokes that make it look choppy.
This painting shows two old wooden boats tied up at a dock. The water is painted in soft blues and greens, with quick brushstrokes that make it look choppy. The boats have tall masts with tattered flags, and their sides are weathered and patched. The background is a faint, hazy shore with a few trees.
The artist signed it in the corner, and the date "20/1957" is written on the paper. The boats look like they’ve been used a lot, maybe for fishing or transport.
