Marée Basse

20th-century oil painting on canvas signed in the lower right (illegible). The work is smooth to the touch.

A coastal landscape that likely depicts the cliffs of Étretat in Normandy with a sailboat drawn up on the sand of the low tide (Marée Basse) besides a few distant figures. The brushstrokes are broad yet disciplined. The juxtaposition of these brushstrokes in the sky is executed with emotion, resulting in a textured effect that enhances its perspective. Despite the contrasting shapes, the lines maintain a sense of harmony, giving rise to a feeling of tranquility in the view.
