Physical Object Description:
View of Marseilles harbour, boats of differing sizes moored along jetties in the foreground, with the town of Marseilles in the background. There is a cathedral visible on the horizon. The colours are somewhat dull and muted, making the scene appear overcast by cloud. The paint application is thick and rapid, with the artist seeking to show a general impression of the landscape.
