A waterside scene with buildings, trees, and boats docked along a stone embankment
Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts a waterside scene under a light blue sky. In the foreground, a body of water, rendered in shades of dark blue and green, occupies the lower half of the composition. Along the left bank, a stone embankment runs horizontally, where four boats with rounded, straw-colored covers are moored. Their reflections are visible in the water. On the embankment, a cluster of dark-roofed buildings with distinct, curved eaves is visible. To the far left, a larger, darker, rectangular building with a red-orange arched doorway stands. Several small, dark figures are scattered along the embankment. Behind the buildings and extending along the embankment to the right, numerous trees with dense, green foliage and dark trunks are depicted. The water narrows as it recedes into the distance, flanked by more trees on the right bank. In the far distance, two small, light-colored, rounded forms are visible on the horizon under a light blue sky with subtle cloud-like areas.
