About this work
Two low barges move slowly across a wide expanse of calm river water, their dark hulls and small figures the only solid notes in an otherwise pale, glowing scene. Along the horizon, the silhouette of a city skyline with spires and rooftops dissolves into haze.
Delicate washes of silvery grey, pale blue and cream fill almost the entire canvas, with water and sky merging into a single luminous field. Soft, fluid brushwork and diffused light capture the characteristic glow of a white night, producing a hushed, serene calm.
