Le repos de la crique

Lying on the sandbank, a sailor is resting next to his boat. Sails rolled up, it makes a stopover.
In the foreground, a fishing net is abandoned near the scattered riprap.
Behind the fisherman, a small makeshift installation contrasts with the architectural craftsmanship of the semicircular arched entrance, with its wooden door.
Entangled in the stone, the lush vegetation takes back its rights.
The perspective rests on the staircase leading to the arch with two turrets, which marks the entrance to the fortress, where there is a figure.
On the coast, a village bathed in light emerges.
In the background, the pink and pearl gray tones give a glimpse of a mountain range. Its summit points towards a sparse sky, which offers harmony and lightness to the composition. The blue of the stretching sea and the rare sailboats invite you to take in the big, like a robinsonnade.
