About this work
A slender crescent moon floats in a dark sky above a row of tall waterside buildings, their pale walls catching warm light while upper stories fall into shadow. Below, a dark canal reflects the glow, broken by the silhouettes of moored boats and a low archway opening onto the water. Scattered lit windows dot the facades, and the water's surface is built from short, choppy strokes.
Deep indigo, warm ochre and rose-pink dominate the palette, warm light on the buildings set against cool, near-black water and sky. Thick, textured brushwork gives the water a rippled surface, while the architecture is rendered in broader, flatter planes. The contrast of glowing walls against darkness creates a quiet, enigmatic nocturne.
