Updated August 24, 2026

Artwork Title: Sunset Harbor with Sailboat and Waterfowl Technique: Oil on canvas Measures: 21 × 17 inches (53.3 × 43.2 cm) Year: Undated Condition: Good overall condition. The painted surface presents rich color saturation and energetic, visible brushwork throughout. Minor surface irregularities and age-related wear may be present. The composition remains vibrant and displays well within an ornate gilt-toned frame. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition description. Provenance: Private collection, Belgium. Visual Description: A luminous waterscape depicting a sailboat resting upon calm water at sunset, accompanied by several dark waterfowl in the foreground. The sky is animated by swirling passages of blue, turquoise, yellow, orange, pink, and cream surrounding a brilliant setting sun. Reflections extend vertically across the water in energetic strokes of yellow, rose, green, and blue. The dramatic handling of light and movement gives the composition a highly expressive Impressionist character. The work bears an inscription reading “Claude Monet” at the lower right.
