It represents a tartane at sunset, probably on the Etang de Berre, where the artist, worthy son of Charles Malfroy, born in Martigues had his habits.

Painter of landscapes, but especially of seascapes. Post-impressionist.
Born on January 15, 1895 in Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône). Died in 1942.
He did his apprenticeship at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris with his father Charles Malfroy, with whom he is often confused.
He exhibited regularly in Paris, at the Salon des Artistes Français and the Salon des Indépendants until 1934.
Adopting a technique close to impressionism, he painted the coasts and ports of the Bouches-du-Rhône and Var, but also landscapes of Paris and the banks of the Seine.
Settled in Martigues, he broadened his touch, brightened his compositions, getting closer to Provençal landscapers, such as Ziem.
