This watercolor by Pierre François Basan, dated between 1733 and 1797, depicts a moonlit seascape near Toulon. The painting features a ruined tower on the left, with boats moored nearby, and a large ship sailing in the distance. The soft, hazy light and calm waters create a serene and romantic atmosphere, typical of the 18th-century taste for picturesque landscapes. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Basan's talent for capturing the subtle beauty of nature.
