Cleveland Museum of Art

The Dock of Deauville by Eugène Boudin: A painting depicting a harbor scene. The sky is cloudy with large blue patches and white and gray clouds. In the right foreground, a large ship with three masts and gray sails is moored. The ship's hull is dark and it has rigging and ropes visible. To the left, there are several smaller boats and ships in the water. The water is calm and reflects the sky and the boats. In the background on the left, there are buildings with orange and yellow roofs. The overall color palette is subdued with shades of blue, gray, brown, and orange. The painting style is impressionist with visible brushstrokes.
