Port 1895

Albert Benois' "Port", created in 1895, depicts a bustling harbor scene. The watercolor painting showcases a variety of vessels including a large steamship with billowing smoke, smaller boats, and sailboats in the distance. Benois' precise brushstrokes create a sense of realism, capturing the subtle light reflecting on the water. The scene is reminiscent of 19th-century maritime trade and industrial activity.
