Painting of a grey harbour with steamships, masts and a green cabin along a muddy quay, with two women walking near the water.

The De Ruijterkade in Amsterdam

A grey, stormy harbour scene with dark-hulled steamships and tall masts along a muddy quay. Two women in dark dresses walk near the water's edge, while a green cabin structure and a lamppost stand at right and left. Loose, rapid brushstrokes in muted browns and greys define the sky, water and figures.
