The sailing boats in the harbour at Concarneau are painted in the bright, fresh colours of Northern France. The elements of the composition - the architecture and boats - are painted with great freedom and great accuracy. The spontaneous figures on the far side of the harbour make for a busy scene. The buildings and boats are beautifully reflected in the calm waters of the harbour.
