The work captures a serene maritime moment with a bold use of color and confident brushwork that reflects Krell's background as an influential teacher and expatriate artist in the mid-20th century.
Circa 1940, this original period painting was created during the years Krell spent active in the artistic communities of the Bay Area and beyond.
