This atmospheric oil on panel by Michael David presents a sweeping view of a harbor rendered in a near monochromatic palette of silver grays and warm ochres. Rooftops of a coastal town fill the lower foreground while sailboats and small vessels dot the expansive water beyond, all beneath a brooding layered sky. The softly blurred, luminous treatment of light and distance creates a deeply contemplative mood evoking the quiet melancholy of a New England coastal scene. The work was acquired directly from the Albert Merola Gallery in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 2003.
