A marina packed tight with yachts, seen across the water from Rambla del Mar in Barcelona. Mikhail Mikora crowds the canvas with moored white hulls and a dense tangle of masts and rigging, painted as a screen of fine vertical lines that almost veils the town behind. That town reads in pale pinks and greys along the left, with a squat tower among the rooftops.

The water takes up the whole foreground, turquoise and silver, broken into short horizontal strokes that scatter the reflections of the boats. A few touches of red on the waterlines keep the cool palette from going flat.

The handling is loose and impressionistic, much of it laid in with a palette knife. It is an oil on canvas from 2020, 130 by 80 centimetres.
