About the piece

Painted circa 1890, this work by Eugène Boudin showcases his mastery of atmospheric light and marine subjects. The composition emphasizes the relationship between the turbulent sea and the expansive sky, with nimble brushstrokes depicting the movement of the wind-swept waves and the sails of the departing fishing boats in Berck.
