This oil on wood, created in the 1930s by the Florentine painter Guido Bartoli, depicts a lively and crowded port scene. The work, executed with quick and bold brush strokes, shows bustling maritime traffic where steamships, boats, and sailing vessels crowd along a busy quay. It is likely a representation of the ports of Genoa or Livorno.

In the foreground, several small boats can be clearly distinguished, including a barge with a few human silhouettes, navigating on the wavy water reflecting white and blue. To the left stands a dark steamer, in blue and red colors, while in the background, several large sailing ships can be seen, some with partially lowered sails. On the opposite side of the port is an imposing tower or lighthouse, surrounded by numerous port buildings with red roofs. The atmosphere is rendered in brown and gray tones, animated by shimmering reflections on the water, suggesting a veiled sky and diffuse light, typical of morning hours or a winter afternoon. Bartoli's pictorial language reveals itself in a concise and incisive painting, capable of conveying the energy of an active port.
