This luminous oil on canvas presents a panoramic view of the harbor in Ciutadella, Menorca. The composition is captured from an elevated perspective behind a classical stone balustrade, leading the eye across the deep blue water toward the iconic white-washed architecture of the Mediterranean port. Painted in 1980, the work reflects a serene, midday atmosphere, characterized by bright, clear light and a soft, airy palette that perfectly embodies the spirit of the Balearic Islands.

The piece is signed “V.M. Costa” in the lower right corner, with the location and date—”Ciutadella (Menorca – 1980)”—neatly inscribed by the artist on the reverse of the canvas. The brushwork is precise yet fluid, effectively capturing the reflections of the boats and the coastal buildings in the calm harbor waters. Housed in its original wooden frame with a fabric-textured inlay, the painting remains in excellent condition, serving as a nostalgic and sophisticated tribute to Spanish coastal life.
