The sky is a mass of grey-pink cloud with breaks of blue. The canvas is inscribed on the reverse with the place, Saint-Valery, the harbour town of the Somme bay on the Picardy coast where boats are still hauled out on the quays. Guy Legendre painted the ports of the Channel coast, Le Tréport and Saint-Valery among them, in a bright, square-brushed manner that belongs to the post-war French school of harbour painting. The picture is unusually direct for the genre: no picturesque sails, but a working boat out of the water and the people who look after it.
