TROUVILLE
Height, 14 inches; length, 23 inches
This is a view of the harbor of the famous watering-place on the Normandy coast, showing the broad estuary upon which the town is situated, with the lofty façades and roofs of the buildings ranged along a busy quay on the right, and on the left the curved line of a gently sloping grassy bank at the water’s edge, with various boats moored near the shore or drawn up on the beach. Beyond, across a road, on which are several figures, are seen a lofty residence, workshops and the sails of a fishing sloop in silhouette against the quiet luminous sky, which is covered with a thin stratum of summer clouds.
Signed at the lower left, E. Boudin, Trouville, ’97.
