## Commentary

In this serene view of a Dutch harbour, evidently the artist&#39;s hometown of Schiedam, Pynacker brings the light of a late afternoon on the Mediterranean to the north. The coppery illumination of the setting sun recalls landscapes by Jan Both and Italianate scenes by Pynacker himself.
