About the piece

Painted in 1894 by Eugène Boudin, this marine scene depicts boats navigating the turbulent waters near the port of Trouville. A pioneer of plein-air painting, Boudin masterfully captures the interplay of light and water, using a palette of soft blues, greys, and whites to convey the shifting atmosphere of the English Channel.
