About the piece

Painted in 1874 by Eugène Louis Boudin, this masterly oil on canvas depicts fishing vessels stranded by the tide at Trouville. A significant precursor to Impressionism, Boudin's work is celebrated for its luminous skies and atmospheric handling of the sea, here rendered with expressive brushwork and a soft, sophisticated palette.
