About the piece

Created in 1892, this work by Henry Moret exemplifies the energetic style of the Pont-Aven school. The painting captures the rugged beauty of the Brittany coastline, using thick, rhythmic brushstrokes to depict the play of light across the thatched roof, rocky cliffs, and shimmering Atlantic waters.
