Bathed in the incandescent glow of a setting sun, our evocative print captures the essence of Anstruther Harbour through the boldly expressive lens of Fauvism. The composition is ignited with a captivating fusion of fiery oranges, radiant yellows, and deep, lustrous purples that dance across the water's surface, mirroring the sky's vivid tapestry.

In this harbour scene, the twilight sun takes centre stage, artfully positioned just on the cusp of the horizon, its spherical silhouette an orb of pure, dazzling light. The surrounding sky erupts in a mosaic of brushstrokes, ranging from amber to vermillion, setting the heavens ablaze with warmth and intensity.

Reflected upon the serene harbour waters, the sun's luminous path intertwines harmoniously with the moored vessels that gently sway, their forms simplified yet unmistakable. A red-sailed boat draws the eye, its deep crimson hue a stark contrast against the kaleidoscope of sunset shades, which are also mirrored on the white hulls of its companions.

The picturesque waterfront houses bask in the sunset's amber effulgence. Their facades are depicted in a palette of warm yellows and cool violets, with dashes of the night's approaching indigo hinting at the impending twilight. Each stroke of colour maintains a degree of independence, in line with the Fauvist celebration of paint and hue, untethered by the need to strictly imitate reality.

In the distance, slender silhouettes on the harbourfront promenade hint at the serene end-of-day activities, as day meets night in this quaint coastal setting. This print resonates with the joy of colour and the unique vibrancy that the Fauvist movement brought to the fore, making it an incredibly intriguing addition to any space that seeks to be invigorated by the spirit and splendour of Scottish Harbours.
