Watercolour over traces of a pencil underdrawing, drawn on a page from a small sketchbook. A faint sketch of boats in pencil on the verso.

The present sheet belongs with a small group of Impressionistic watercolours that are datable to the early years of Hayet’s career, before his introduction to Seurat and the principles of pointillism. This watercolour was included in the exhibition 'Louis Hayet, oeuvres néo-impressionnistes de 1885 à 1895' held at the Musée Tavet in Pontoise in 1991.
