This print showcases a mesmerizing harbour scene, taken from the famous painting "Departure of Ulysses from the land of the Feaci" by Claude Lorrain. Painted in 1646, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The scene depicts a picturesque port where sailors are busy loading and unloading cargo onto ships. The setting sun casts a warm golden glow over the tranquil waters, creating an atmosphere of serenity and romance.
