Sailors in the Harbour of Pola 

"Sailors in the Harbour of Pola" is a chalk drawing by Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl. It depicts a group of sailors on a ship's deck. The figures are realistically drawn, focusing on the details of their uniforms and postures. The composition is reminiscent of a snapshot, capturing a moment in time. The hazy background suggests the harbor of Pola, a naval base in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Hirémy-Hirschl was known for his depictions of military life and his ability to convey the atmosphere of naval scenes. This drawing, while untitled, showcases the artist's talent for capturing the everyday lives of sailors, offering a glimpse into the world of the Austro-Hungarian navy during the late 19th or early 20th century.
