Oil painting on masonite by William Hoffmann depicting a tranquil seaside scene with a dominant lighthouse standing tall on a hill, surrounded by a scattering of small houses. In the foreground, several sailboats grace the calm waters, their white sails contrasting beautifully against the deep teal of the sea. The sky is a mix of blue and gray hues, with clouds suggesting an overcast or clearing day, adding a dynamic element to the composition.Artwork Details
