- Subject Matter
- Boudin, who lived in the nearby port city of Le Havre, spent a lot of time in the picturesque fishing town of Honfleur. This depiction of the local fish market was probably painted "plein air" directly in front of the motif, and may be a sketch, although a finished painting of this composition is unknown. Boudin's work concentrated on the costal regions of Normandy and Brittany. He was an important early influence on Claude Monet, who also painted extensively in Honfleur.
