The oil painting shows a picturesque Scandinavian harbour scene with colourful wooden houses in red, yellow and white. Their characteristic gabled roofs are reflected in the calm water. The scene radiates a peaceful, nostalgic atmosphere, typical of small coastal towns in Scandinavia. Clear reflections of the buildings and the boat on the smooth water surface double the vivid colours. The deep blue sky and water contrast effectively with the warm colours of the architecture. The composition is balanced, with the red boat as an eye-catcher in the centre of the picture. Fine details such as windows and dock structures lend depth and realism to the work. This painting captures the charm and beauty of an idyllic Nordic coastal town and invites the viewer to immerse themselves in this peaceful maritime scene.
