The Boats

This compact and finely detailed Swedish oil on tile captures a bustling harbor scene, dated 1969. The composition focuses on a large ship docked in port, its imposing structure contrasting with the smaller tugboats navigating the water below. The artist uses a restrained, monochromatic palette of greys and blacks, evoking the industrial atmosphere of a working waterfront. In the background, the city skyline is depicted with a mix of tall, modern buildings and older structures, hinting at a place in transition. The texture of the brushwork, especially in the choppy waves and the weathered surfaces of the vessels, brings a sense of realism and movement. The piece feels nostalgic, offering a snapshot of maritime life and the symbiotic relationship between the city and its harbor. It comes in the original frame.
