The Mouth of the Elorn in the Area of Brest 1872

"The Mouth of the Elorn in the Area of Brest" is an 1872 painting by Eugène Boudin. The painting depicts a landscape view of the Elorn River, a river in Brittany, France, with a rocky cliff in the foreground. The painting captures a muted, cloudy day with a subtle glow of sunlight on the river. The artist's use of soft, muted colors and loose brushstrokes conveys the feeling of an atmospheric, open landscape. This work exemplifies Boudin's signature style, known as "plein air" painting, which emphasizes capturing the effects of light and weather on the natural world. The painting is held in a private collection.
