This anonymous, early 20th-century work represents a compelling example of vernacular landscape painting within the folk art tradition. Executed in oil on board, the composition features a body of water occupied by three sailboats, framed by a mountainous backdrop and a rugged, rocky foreground. A band of soft pink along the horizon introduces a subtle chromatic modulation suggestive of either dawn or dusk.
