Sailboats 

"Sailboats" is a watercolor painting by German Expressionist Emil Nolde, known for his bold colors and simplified forms. This small-scale work, likely created sometime during his lifetime between 1867 and 1956, depicts a seascape with sailboats. The painting utilizes a muted palette of blues, purples, and browns to depict a scene of calm seas under a cloudy sky. Nolde's signature expressive style is evident in the way he depicts the sailboats and the water, creating a sense of movement and energy. The painting, despite its small size, captures the essence of Nolde's artistic vision, characterized by emotionality and the exploration of color and form.
