Description
A harbor at dusk, with several masted boats moored along the right side, their dark silhouettes and rigging reflected in the still water below. A thin crescent moon hangs in the pale blue-green sky above a range of dark hills, with a soft orange-pink glow along the horizon marking the last light of sunset. The water shifts from deep indigo in the foreground to warm reflected tones near the shore, and no human figures are visible in the scene.
