In 1895,

Impressionist Techniques and Influences
Metcalf's generally light palette and broken, controlled brush marks in
Gloucester Harbor reveal his study of French Impressionism. His visits to Giverny, France, home of Claude Monet, further enhanced his understanding and application of Impressionist techniques (

Adapting Impressionist styles, the artist rendered shapes through his composition rather flatly, resembling integrated patterns. This approach is reminiscent of the works of other renowned Impressionists such as
Frederick Childe Hassam and
John Henry Twachtman, who also painted Gloucester Harbor scenes (
