About the piece
Painted in 1881 by Henry Herbert La Thangue, this Naturalist work depicts a shipyard in Cancale, Brittany. The composition juxtaposes the intricate, skeletal ribs of a boat under construction with the stillness of a seated woman, all rendered in a soft, sun-drenched palette that highlights the artist's focus on light and plein-air observation.
