The scene, bathed in soft, subdued light, depicts fishermen at work in boats laden with nets and baskets. In the background, majestic moored sailboats stand out elegantly, forming a tranquil and picturesque backdrop. The sky, laden with clouds, adds a nostalgic note, reinforcing the authenticity and poetry of this seascape. A palette of muted and harmonious tones, dominated by silvery grays, warm browns and deep greens. This choice gives the work a feeling of calm and melancholy, evoking the harshness and timeless beauty of Breton maritime life.
