The composition is signed A. Masson at the lower right and identified on the frame plaque as “Anvers from the River.”The artist captures the quiet activity of the port with loose, expressive brushwork and a muted palette of blue-gray, brown, cream, and soft green tones. The foreground boat and reflections in the water give the work depth and movement, while the distant masts and waterfront buildings create a strong maritime atmosphere.
