There is prominent use of backlighting in this painting. In this scene, just before day breaks, mystery and anticipation are in the air. There are major changes in the use of colors by this artist, such as yellow and green for the sky and maroon for the mountains. The fishing boats seem to be strewn at random around the harbor, expressing great emotion and feelings of unease. Before dawn, fishermen prepare to depart. Every time they go out to sea they risk danger. But, to the vast seas they must sail, as they pursue a living.
