I, p. 414, no. 1199 (with ill.). The origin of Eugène Louis Boudin's inspiration for his favorite series of motifs around the coastal town of Trouville is found around 1863, when Boudin spent his first summer in the northern French coastal town and returned every year from then on. After being connected to the train network, Trouville became a fashionable summer resort for the French aristocracy in the second half of the 19th century, which also increased the demand for his depictions of the Norman town. Thus he devoted himself in different variations to his favorite motif, to which the two paintings for sale here may also be counted. The work shown here was created around 1877-81, the other in 1891 (lot 3218).
