Fishing Boat 

This pastel drawing by Eugène Boudin depicts a fishing boat at sunset. The artist, known for his plein air paintings, captures the beauty of a serene seascape with a simple yet evocative composition. The subtle hues of the sky and water evoke the tranquility of the evening, while the lone boat serves as a focal point, inviting contemplation. Boudin's work is often associated with the Impressionist movement, although he predates it, paving the way for the Impressionists through his innovative use of color and light. The loose brushstrokes and painterly quality of this piece further contribute to its atmospheric charm.
