About this work
Wide open water fills the middle of the composition, stretching toward a low embankment lined with pale buildings and a golden-domed cathedral on the far shore. In the foreground, sunlit granite steps and a stone parapet lead down to the water, with a weathered mooring post standing at the water's edge.
The river is rendered in varied strokes of blue, teal, and violet that catch reflected light, while the distant buildings are painted more softly in warm cream and ochre. Strong sunlight falls across the stone steps, throwing sharp diagonal shadows that give the title its subject. The overall effect is bright, expansive, and calm, dominated by open sky and water.
