Evening

Two fishing boats at Douarnenez, on the coast of Brittany. The hull of one dull blue and red, the hull of the other red and gray-pink. Raised sails showing dull reds, yellows and pinks. These make the simple ingredients of this charming picture, but they arrange themselves with such suavity, and they limn themselves against a pinkish sky with such sureness of effect, that no man could ask for more. Here is the artistic “‘enough”’ that is as good as a feast—indeed, it is a finely flavored feast to the palate of the initiated.
