Lel’s use of muted earth tones contrasts with splashes of vibrant color on the boats, enhancing the piece’s impressionistic feel. The blurred, softened details of the buildings along the harbor create a sense of distance, while the boats in the foreground, with their expressive brushstrokes, bring life and activity to the scene.
