Description

The painting depicts the entrance to the port of Palermo, in Sicily, by moonlight. In the foreground on the left, several people are warming themselves around a fire, while on the right, several silhouettes of ships stand out against the sea. On the left side, behind the group of people, Vernet painted the tower of the harbor fortress of Palermo. The sky is cloudy, mostly at the right, and the moon can be seen almost at the middle of the painting.[2]
