Physical Description
A group of figures stand in a market place flanked by brown and tan buildings under a freely-painted sky. Most of these figures are women in the high linen headdresses characteristic of the region. At center is a woman with a red jacket.
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.
