Henry Moret, who had painted with Paul Gauguin in Pont-Aven in Brittany, changed his style to Impressionism after 1900. As in many of his landscapes, this picture is clearly inspired by Claude Monet, who had traveled along the coast of Brittany in 1886. The sunlit cliffs surround the bay like a clamp. A boat with a red sail creates an accent in the scene that is devoid of people.
