We are in Normandy, a rowboat comes to meet a sailboat. There are 5 fishermen depicted in action. The artist knew how to give movement and life to the scene through the activity of sailors but also the movement of waves and clouds. Thanks to his removed and fine touch, his sense of detail and a very pretty shades of blue gray which the painter is accustomed to, the marinist Charles Hoguet gives us here a very good quality navy.

Painter and lithographer, Charles Hoguet studied in the studio of the German marine painter Wilhelm August Christian Leopold Krause in Berlin. His favorite fields are marine and landscape painting. In 1839, Hoguet went to Paris to complete his training. On Krause's recommendation, he became a pupil of Eugène Ciceri there.
