Le Lay depicts a peaceful moment at the edge of a coastal town, where three small fishing boats are moored beside a striking stone tower with a steep blue roof. Likely inspired by a Brittany or Normandy port, the scene is rendered in soft impressionist tones with subtle texture and atmospheric skies. The tower, central to the composition, rises from the quay with historic strength, evoking a sense of maritime heritage. The turquoise-green waters gently lap against the dock, anchoring the boats in stillness, while distant hills fade into a grey sky. The palette is muted yet expressive, capturing the quiet charm of a coastal day. This evocative work offers collectors a timeless glimpse of life along the French coast, ideal for lovers of nautical art, European travel, and historical harbour architecture.
