Maritime landscape

A large colonnaded villa with porticoes is situated at the edge of a harbor. Outside the villa, along the waterfront, are people walking at leisure and an elderly man with a stick. On the villa’s pier is a fisherman, and in the water there is a boat. Mountains, trees, and a hill with buildings are in the background. The painting has a pastel color palette with pinks, greens, and oranges.
