This striking large oil painting on canvas by Friedrich Karl Thauer (1924–2009) depicts a picturesque European coastal town with a bustling waterfront scene. Historic stone buildings line the harbor, their textures brought to life with rich impasto and bold, expressive brushstrokes. A lively market stall with a red-and-white striped awning adds vibrant charm to the left, while the calm blue waters reflect a traditional sailing boat with deep red sails, gently drifting under the sun. The scene exudes movement, warmth, and timeless European charm.
