Under a Cloud

Albert Pinkham Ryder

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a dark sailboat on water with two sails. The boat is in the lower center of the image. The sails are dark and appear to be billowing in the wind. The boat is surrounded by dark water. The background shows a dark cloud over a light-colored sky with a white orb that could be a moon or sun. The entire image is rendered in dark muted colors. The painting style appears to be impressionist.
