View of boats stranded in the port of Barcelona. The thematic coincidence and technical similarity with another painting of the same subject (P0107) leads us to date it perhaps earlier than the date proposed by the MNAC (1915), more likely around 1902. Inscription on the reverse: «Vídua Nogués, 1958» above the signature. Dedication: «Al amich Martí» in the lower right corner, above the signature.
