Dimensions without frame: 33 x 41 cm

The artist sensitively captures the peaceful atmosphere of a sun-drenched seaside. The brightly colored boats contrast harmoniously with the shades of turquoise blue in the sea and sky, as well as the ochre and sandy tones of the shoreline. The brushwork is free, spontaneous, and expressive, bringing a great deal of freshness and luminosity to this composition.

An artist of the first half of the 20th century, he developed a personal style of figurative painting characterized by a rich palette, expressive compositions, and a free, colorful brushstroke.
