Horizontals are restful, verticals are stately. Obliques are energetic and can act as pointers. I employ them as often as I can.
In this painting the most obvious obliques are found in the triangular umbrellas. Looking at the cast shadows, they form a broken oblique. The rooftops and the bow of the far boat are also obliques. All of them direct your eye to the figures in the foreground.
Look at the previous post and you'll see more obliques at work.
