The Basin at Deauville 1890

"The Basin at Deauville" (1890) by Eugène Boudin, is an oil on canvas depicting a harbor scene. The artist captures a moment of peaceful serenity with the boats docked in the basin, their masts reaching towards the soft, gray clouds above. The water reflects the subtle hues of the sky, creating a harmonious composition. Boudin was known for his plein air paintings of seascapes and coastal scenes, and this work is a prime example of his style, known for its loose brushstrokes and atmospheric quality.
