Dufy's beloved Norman port comes alive in this charming harbor scene, where promenading Edwardian figures line a waterfront railing as sailboats and steamships animate a shimmering expanse of periwinkle and jade—painted with the witty, shorthand vivacity that is pure Dufy. A work of irresistible charm and sophisticated simplicity, it captures the breezy pleasure of a day by the sea with the lightness of touch that only a master can achieve.
