What do we see in this work of art?

The artwork printed on canvas shows several sailing ships that appear to be anchored on a river or in a quiet bay and are silhouetted against the cloudy evening sky. One of the ships has already lowered its sails and is preparing for the night. The other ship has still set its sails. Maybe it still has to reach the next port. In the background, an old paddle steamer sails along the river, showing that we are in a bygone era, perhaps around the 1900s in North America. We see how the ships are reflected in the calm water and you can almost imagine the cooling winds blowing around your face. It's a dreamy, almost romantic mood that makes it easy to imagine ourselves looking out at the water on a golden evening while the gentle rocking of the boat slowly but surely lulls us to sleep.

Where can this mural hang?

Printed on a canvas, this mural carries a relaxing aura. The image is neither too complex nor overloaded with details. This work is about the mood it creates. We recommend this image for quiet places, perhaps a bedroom or a living room. Put yourself in this world and dream about it.
