About the Artwork

Violette de Mazia was a legendary teacher at the Barnes for over 60 years and served as director of education after the death of Albert Barnes in 1951. In a 1955 letter, De Mazia told a friend that she painted this work while traveling through French region of Brittany. The work depicts a colorful group of fishing boats bobbing side-by-side in a marina. De Mazia's brushwork is thin enough that the horizontal wood grain remains visible, which reinforces the landscape format of the composition.
