Artist, German, 1879 - 1944

The image displays a harbor scene with boats closely packed together in a marina. There is a hillside with structures above the horizon line. The sails and masts are prominent, creating vertical lines. The artwork appears to be a printmaking style, possibly an etching, with bold, linear strokes and contrasts between light and shadow. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of brown and black. Light reflects off the water, adding dynamism to the stillness of the boats.
