About the piece
Painted in 1891 by Eugène Louis Boudin, this oil on canvas captures the dramatic landscape of Étretat. A key figure in the transition to Impressionism, Boudin expertly renders the shifting light and maritime atmosphere of the Normandy coast, focusing on the monumental white cliffs and the quiet, industrious activity of fishing boats resting on the pebble beach.
