Description: This charming French Impressionist oil painting captures a tranquil harbor scene, where small boats gently bob on calm waters under a soft pastel sky. The composition features five boats moored close to each other, their reflections shimmering in the rippling water. Above them, seagulls glide gracefully through the air, adding a sense of movement to the peaceful setting. In the background, a tall, slender lighthouse with a red top stands watch over the scene, while a tree-lined pier extends towards the left. The artist has used delicate, loose brushstrokes to evoke the play of light on the water and sky, which are rendered in soothing tones of blue, pink, and soft green. The piece beautifully captures the serene atmosphere of a quiet day by the sea, inviting the viewer to pause and enjoy the peaceful moment.
