Born in Honfleur, Boudin – the son of a ship’s captain – was constantly fascinated by the life of Normandy ports. He based himself each summer from 1864 on the coast, in Trouville and its sister town Deauville, which sit either side of the river Touques. In 1884 he even built a house in Deauville. Boudin painted the port of Deauville throughout his career, recording it as it developed and grew busier with trade, fishing boats and the yachts of wealthy visitors. In this picture, magnificent sailing ships, their tall masts punctuating the cloud-filled sky, sit in the harbour, their hulls reflected in the still waters. The scene is curiously devoid of people: the only hint of a human presence is the hastily sketched in suggestion of two figures in a boat beside the central ship.
