Original artwork description:

A lively harbor scene in the fishing village of Honfleur in Normandy, France.

In the foreground on the left, several sailboats lie close together in the water; their masts rise slenderly into the sky, forming rhythmic, vertical lines.

To the right, a waterfront promenade opens up, lined with colorful houses, cafés, and market stalls. People stroll in front of the houses: small groups walking, pausing, or sitting at tables. The figures are only suggested, but their posture and clothing clearly identify them as strollers and visitors.

The sky is bright and cloudy, also rendered in short, dynamic brushstrokes, giving the painting an airy, almost vibrant atmosphere.

The painting conveys a cheerful, summery mood and a sense of liveliness, everyday life, and a holiday atmosphere in a picturesque harbor town.

Oil on canvas, palette knife technique, 2019.
