This small oil painting on panel depicts a bustling harbor scene, likely of a small European port, painted in the early 20th century.

The composition focuses on a boat moored at the dock in the foreground, while the buildings in the background are rendered evocatively with broad strokes of color, creating a luminous atmosphere

The brushwork is thick and expressive, with visible impasto, particularly in the reflections on the water and the boat’s structure, giving the work a tactile and lively quality.

The pier is filled with quickly sketched human figures, suggesting the hustle and bustle of the port without going into specific details about the characters.

Stamped on the back: “Julius Klein, Ljubljana”
