In this ink drawing, Anna explores the verticality of Portofino, a town tucked into the rugged west coast of Italy. The composition focuses on the relationship between the built environment and the waterfront, using precise lines to define the clustered facades and the masts of boats resting in the harbor. There is a sense of stillness here, as if the town has been stripped back to its structural bones and quiet, rhythmic patterns.

The use of ink allows for a play of light and shadow that emphasizes the texture of the Mediterranean landscape. By focusing on the harbor scene, the artist highlights the enduring connection between the town's fishing heritage and its architectural identity. The portrait orientation draws the eye upward from the water’s edge to the hillsides, inviting a slow observation of the details that define this coastal sanctuary.
