About this work

A nocturnal scene shows a group of men crowded into a small rowboat on dark water, some in red caps, while a larger ship with tall masts sits in the distance under a crescent moon. The sky is textured in deep blue with a glowing red cloud at the upper right, lending a dramatic, eerie atmosphere. 141, by Howard Pyle, held by Wikimedia Commons.
