Claude Monet frequently depicted the beaches and harbors of Normandy, and Trouville was a favored location in his early career, especially in the years around 1870-1871. These paintings often include his wife, Camille, and sometimes Eugène Boudin, who encouraged Monet to paint en plein air. This work exemplifies Monet's developing Impressionist style, focusing on capturing the transient effects of light and atmosphere.
