About the Item

In Gloucester, American artist William Smith Robinson (1861–1945) masterfully captures the vibrant energy of the historic fishing port. The brushwork is lively and expressive, with soft atmospheric tones suggesting a hazy summer day. Robinson’s impressionist touch brings light and motion to the composition, highlighting both the working vessels and the bustling waterfront town in the distance. Robinson was a respected painter of marine and coastal scenes, closely associated with the Boston School and the Cape Ann art colony. His work blends realism with a painterly spontaneity that celebrates the New England maritime tradition. Signed lower right. Painting size w/o frame: 12”x16” Painting size with frame: 19"x23"
