About the piece
Painted by Augustin Feyen-Perrin, this mid-19th-century work depicts the daily labor and quiet dignity of French coastal life. The warm, atmospheric light of the late afternoon sky reflects off the damp sand as the figures carry their harvest back from the bay, with a distant windmill silhouetted against the hills.
