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.

Español: El De Ruijterkade en Ámsterdam

Una escena de puerto gris y tormentoso, con barcos de vapor de cascos oscuros y altos mástiles a lo largo de un muelle fangoso. Dos mujeres con vestidos oscuros caminan cerca del agua, mientras una cabina verde y un farol aparecen a la derecha y a la izquierda. Pinceladas sueltas y rápidas en tonos marrones y grises definen el cielo, el agua y las figuras.

Português: O De Ruijterkade em Amsterdã

Uma cena de porto cinzenta e tempestuosa, com barcos a vapor de cascos escuros e mastros altos ao longo de um cais lamacento. Duas mulheres de vestidos escuros caminham perto da água, enquanto uma cabine verde e um poste de luz aparecem à direita e à esquerda. Pinceladas soltas e rápidas em tons de marrom e cinza definem o céu, a água e as figuras.
