Sailboat near Morgat, Brittany
In his monograph on the artist, published in 1926, Arsène Alexandre aptly described Maxime Maufra as ‘a poet of the sea’. The present sheet was drawn at Morgat, a seaside resort on the Bay of Douarnenez, situated on the Crozon Peninsula in northwest Brittany. Maufra is known to have visited Morgat between 1899 and 1902, and painted a number of landscapes of the coast there.
