Moored ships Sun 1899

"Moored Ships Sun" is a 1899 painting by Piet Mondrian, depicting a harbor scene with boats docked at sunset. The painting shows Mondrian's early style, utilizing loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light. This work foreshadows his later abstract paintings through the simplification of form and the emphasis on color and light. The depiction of the ships at sunset, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere, is a recurring theme in Mondrian's early work.
