About the piece

Painted by Francis Bourgeois in 1796, this coastal landscape showcases the artist's skill in capturing atmospheric light and rural maritime life. A small ferry boat packed with passengers navigates the choppy foreground waters, while on the sandy dunes above, a horse-drawn cart and various figures are silhouetted against a vast, towering cumulus cloud.
