Boats of Camaret

Camaret is across the bay from Brest. Her land-locked shore harbors many smacks, both large and small. Here rest the tuna fishermen alongside their brown-sailed sisters that hunt the prosaic sardine and mackerel. A well-balanced composition, with an excellent and pleasing arrangement of dark and light masses, the repose and tranquillity of the entire scene is reminiscent of, and is the locale of the romance of Pierre Lott.
