Estuary at Trouville 1880

Eugène Boudin's 1880 painting, "Estuary at Trouville", captures the serene beauty of a harbor scene in Trouville, France. The artist, renowned for his plein air (outdoor) paintings, masterfully portrays the interplay of light and atmosphere. The calm waters of the estuary reflect the soft, white clouds, highlighting the stillness of the scene. Several ships are docked, adding a touch of human activity to the idyllic setting. Boudin's masterful use of color and brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and realism, making the viewer feel immersed in the tranquility of the moment.
