Looking down
Looking down towards the harbor at night
A harbor by a calm sea, illuminated by a full moon low on the horizon in a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground to the right, a group of people stand near the entrance to a tent, one of them tending a fire over which a pot is suspended. To the left is a man seated on a rock, fishing with a long pole. In the background to the right is a hill, at the top of which are the walls and turrets of a fortress; a lighthouse tower, its lamp lit stands further down the hill, closer to the water's edge. A tree stands to the right of the lighthouse, its branches spreading out over the harbor. Four figures, silhouetted against the silvery moonlight, appear to be unloading a rowboat. Craft of various sizes are on the water in the distance.

A group of figures, some wearing oilskin coats and sou'wester hats, are clustered near the wall of a jetty; three of them are holding a ladder, and another figure is standing on the wall of the jetty, holding on to a pole with one hand and holding a life ring in the other.. To the right, a man is climbing out of the stormy sea and over the wall of the jetty; the tattered sails of a boat are just visible over the top of the wall. To the left is a group of three women in long gowns and bonnets; two are embracing, and one is seated, her head in her hands. A lighthouse is behind a wooden hut at the end of the jetty. The sky is cloudy, with the light of what appears to be a full moon shining through a break in the clouds to the upper right and reflecting on the water.

A tall cylindrical tower stands on the shore of a calm harbor; at its top is a bascule light, a tilted pole with a basket of burning coals or wood which serves as a beacon. Figures are milling about on the shore near the tower, and the harbor is full of tall-masted sailing ships. There are buildings on the opposite shore, and hills on the horizon.

A skeletal lighthouse tower stands at the end of a jetty extending from left to right into a choppy sea; a lone figure stands to the left of the tower, and waves are breaking against large rocks along the foundation of the jetty. A steamship outfitted with two masts is in the background, just right if center smoke trailing from left to right from its smokestack; a smaller sailing craft is further to the right. All of these are silhouetted against a dramatic sunset, bathing the sky and the scattered clouds in pastel hues.

The painting shows two jetties, each with a small lighthouse at its end, extending into a calm harbor from right to left, from the perspective of a person standing on the shore. A flag is flying at the end of the closer of the two jetties. Several boats are at sail. Most of the image is taken up by the water, which us rendered in soft pastel hues.

A harbor scene, centered on a tall, white lighthouse and an adjacent building with arches. The scene is viewed across the water, which reflects the structures and the sky. The painting is rendered in the style of pointillism, and the color palette includes various pastel shades of blue, green, pink, and purple, suggesting dawn or dusk.

A white lighthouse with a red-striped midsection and a weathervane at its top stands on a pier. In the background is a rough sea with white-capped waves. Beyond the lighthouse, the sea is rough with white-capped waves. Another smaller lighthouse or beacon is visible further down the pier. A man is standing on the pier, smoking a pipe and looking out to sea; two more figures are standing near the closer of the two lighthouses. A steamer is docked at the pier in the background, and another is at sail on the water, smoke rising from its smokestack.

Two figures are in a skiff near the shore, and two other figures are standing on the shore nearby. A bascule lighthouse -- a tilted wooden beam with a basket of coals at its upraised end, stands on the shore, plumes of smoke rising from the basket. A square tower stands to left of the lighthouse. Another tower is across the water in the distance.
