About the piece

Created in 1882 by Eugène Boudin, a master of marine painting and a key precursor to Impressionism, this work beautifully captures the stillness of the water. The composition is dominated by a luminous, cloud-filled sky that reflects the soft light of the French coast, creating a restful and elegant atmosphere typical of Boudin's later style.
