Measuring 22" x 18" and housed in a frame that brings the total dimensions to 22.5" x 25.5" x 2", this artwork is a meticulous study of Hankey's original piece, 'Harbour'. Known for his impressionistic approach, Hankey (1869–1952) skillfully depicted the bustling nautical life of Cornwall, infusing his work with the sensory experiences of salty sea air, the clatter of boats, and the murmur of voices.

This painting beautifully replicates the atmosphere of Hankey’s original, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the lively scene. The softness of the clouds and the serene scenery are testaments to the influence of the Romantic movement on Hankey, highlighting his tendency to portray the world with a sense of admiration and wonder. Though the artist behind this accomplished study remains unknown, the painting successfully evokes the same emotions and feelings as the original, making it a captivating piece for any art enthusiast.
