Low Tide, Riverside Yacht Club

Theodore Robinson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a body of water with several white sailboats with their sails down. The boats are positioned in the water, some closer to the foreground and others further back. In the background, there are buildings and trees along the shore. The water in the foreground appears shallow, with patches of greenery visible. The sky above is gray and overcast. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of blue, green, brown, and gray dominating the scene. A thin black frame borders the painting.
