The Boompjes, Rotterdam

Samuel Colman

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a harbor scene with several ships and boats. A large ship with three or more masts is centered. The ship has a dark hull and appears to be anchored. Several smaller boats are scattered around the harbor, some with sails. A small boat with a person is near a short stone wall on the right side. Buildings and trees are visible on the right side of the image. The water is calm and reflects the ships and boats. The image is in black and white, with a sepia tone. The title "The Boompjes, Rotterdam" is written in cursive at the bottom right.
