From National Gallery, London:
Seurat regularly spent his summers on the Channel coast and, in his last years, produced more than twenty major canvases of its harbours and seascapes. He spent the summer of 1890 in the port of Gravelines, near Calais. This is one of four landscapes dating from this visit.
