Oil/cardboard. 62 x 79 cm. Lo. le. monogr. and dat. W 1930. French pointillism had its first heyday around 1900, but continued to have an effect outside the country for decades in some cases. Typical of the style is also in this painting the strict composition with the staggered planes of harbour edge, ships, city and landscape background. The colouring is markedly varied, and the artist takes the trouble to model many details, such as the drapery of the sails, in the elaborate technique of stippled colours. They give the picture the typically shimmering overall impression that is so popular with collectors everywhere. - Provenance: Private collection Hamburg -
