Seascape with Boats

This painting by the distinguished artist Kharlampi conveys the subtle, poetic atmosphere of a seashore in the evening light. The composition is built on a soft transition of tones: the calm surface of the water reflects the heavenly glow, creating an effect of depth and aerial perspective.

In the foreground is a small boat with figures, their silhouettes barely hinted at, heightening the sense of silence and contemplation. In the distance, ships and the coastline with architectural elements are visible, immersed in a light haze. The artist masterfully uses light and color, characteristic of the school of the Association of South Russian Artists, creating a harmonious and emotionally charged space.

The subtle painterly style, soft gradations of color, and attention to the light and air make this work a striking example of the Ukrainian realist school of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This painting is of high artistic value and will make a worthy interior decoration or an important exhibit in a private collection.
