Associated Names

John Marin

Artist, American, 1870 - 1953

The image shows a seascape with a faint appearance. The horizon is obscured, with distant buildings barely visible. The brushstrokes are light and delicate, creating an impressionistic feel. The color palette is soft and muted with pastel tones dominating the scene. There is a structure resembling the prow of a boat on the left. The sky has soft touches of blue. The overall quality is dreamy and contemplative.
