Faithful to the color rendering of impressionist outdoor painting, Konstantinos Romanidis (1884 – 1972) depicts his favorite subject, which is none other than ships and the sea. Off to the left, a sailboat dominates with its sails raised on its mast. Boats are located on either side of it, while the volumes of land can be seen in the background. The sky is rendered in pastel shades and its light is reflected in the sail of the sailboat and in the calm waters of the sea. As is usually the case in the artist's works, details are given way in favor of interpreting the idyllic atmosphere of the scene.

Having studied in Athens and Munich, the painter remains faithful to the strict setting of his subjects. What differentiates him is his management of color, as the lessons of the Impressionists that he follows lead him to more lyrical results. Although he was not an innovator, Romanidis is a notable case in the modern Greek art scene, as his high artistic training and ease in handling color led to him being an important figure in Greek landscape painting.
