The steep cliffs frame a turbulent sea, where waves crash against the sky beneath a dramatic, heavy cloud cover that intensifies the scene. The work, signed in the lower left corner in a now illegible hand, reflects a Romantic sensibility and a naturalist eye characteristic of the late 19th century.

The panel is enhanced by a richly decorated giltwood frame, carved and molded with foliate motifs, typical of the period's ornate framing. This original frame magnifies the composition and underscores the piece's museum-quality character.

An evocative painting, ideal for lovers of seascapes, Romantic painting, or Breton heritage.
