Deck of Ship in Moonlight 1876

John Singer Sargent's "Deck of Ship in Moonlight" is a watercolor painting from 1876 that captures a moment on a ship's deck under a moonlit sky. The artist, known for his portraits and landscapes, uses a minimalist approach in this work, emphasizing the ship's rigging and the soft glow of the moon against a dusky sky. Sargent's signature loose brushstrokes and atmospheric quality are evident in this maritime scene.
