This oil painting depicts Rabelos (ancient typical boats from the Douro river in Portugal). These boats were used for centuries in transportation of people and goods (namely wine) along the river. Today they're essentially tourists' attractions.
This painting is larger than usual (oil on canvas, 50x70 cm). The landscape is somewhat simplified, though I think the painting captures rather well the view we get near the river in Gaia.
Thanks for reading!
