About the piece

Painted in 1898, this work by Walter Sickert captures the architectural rhythm of Dieppe's arcades and the quiet activity of the Darse. The muted palette and textured brushwork evoke the misty atmosphere of the Norman coast, reflecting Sickert's transition from Impressionism toward a more somber, structured realism.
