Executed in oil on board, the painting displays the artist's impressionistic approach to the marine landscape, with expressive handling and an emphasis on changing light, water and atmosphere. Dumont-Duparc was particularly drawn to maritime subjects, with known works ranging from sailing vessels to more distant coastal and international views. Born in Falaise in Normandy, Dumont-Duparc spent much of his working life in and around Paris. His combination of Norman origins and Parisian career placed him within a strong French tradition of marine and landscape painting. The painting is signed at the lower right and presented in a decorative frame. Measuring 16 inches across, it is an appealing small-format example of French marine painting from the first half of the 20th century.
