Did you know?
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was more famously known for his depictions of Parisian nightlife, but this work shows his versatility during a holiday on the Arcachon basin. The painting captures the yacht COCORICO, which belonged to his friend, the physician Dr. Gabriel Tapié de Céleyran. This intimate perspective highlights the artist's ability to frame a vast, open sea through the immediate, tactile details of a boat's hardware.
