Marseille, Steamship in the Harbor (Marseille, Dampfer im Hafen)

Paul Gangolf

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a harbor scene in a black and white woodcut style. The view is slightly elevated, capturing the busy area. Small boats with figures are depicted in the foreground, with bold lines and cross-hatching defining their shapes. In the background, a larger ship is present, appearing to lean slightly. The skyline of the harbor is visible with various structures filling the upper section. The composition is dynamic, with energetic brushwork and sharp angles creating texture. The color palette is monochrome, using black ink on white paper.
