About the piece

Painted in 1873, this evocative work by Édouard Manet captures the moody atmosphere of the northern French coast. Using a palette of muted greens and grays, Manet renders the sailboats and choppy waters with his signature confident, fluid brushwork, creating a timeless scene of maritime light and movement.
