A blue casement swings open above a deep stone sill, and the harbor lies just outside. Two small rowing boats float near the steps of the granite quay, white cottages with slate roofs and pink flowers line the waterfront, and the shore curves away to a wooded headland. Sunlight falls across the empty sill, so the room feels quiet and the view feels close.
Seen from indoors, the harbor makes a restful companion in a bedroom, and it brings the sea into a living room far from any coast. The Harbour Window belongs to the Atlantic Harbour collection, nine paintings of a small fishing village and its harbor, and it pairs with Cottage at the Harbour Bend and Through the Dunes.
