Painting at dusk: an orange-yellow sky over a river with a dark city skyline, and silhouetted workers beside boats on the bank.

The Stevedores in Arles

Thick, visible brushstrokes render a dusk sky of yellow and orange above a river reflecting a dark silhouette of a city skyline. Several workers, shown as dark figures, stand in and beside flat-bottomed boats on the riverbank in the foreground.
