Watercolor representing a boat, by King D. Carlos I. The King was, throughout his life, a lover of the oceans devoting many hours to its study. He also had a great talent for drawing and watercolor, many times having the sea as a source of inspiration. So he represented many vessels that crossed the Tagus, the various yachts used by the Royal Family - many used in their oceanographic works - warships, seascapes, figures of fishermen and sailors, etc.
