Artist, French, 1847 - 1898

The image showcases a busy promenade near a harbor. The scene is filled with people and structures, with ships' masts and flags visible in the background. Dark clouds cover the sky, birds fly above, and the overall color palette is grey and black. People are depicted walking on the wet promenade, some holding umbrellas, accompanied by a dog. The surface reflects light due to rain, conveyed through cross-hatching and linear strokes.
