Camille Pissarro - Steamboats in the Port of Rouen [1896]


This is one of fifteen paintings that Pissarro executed in Rouen in the autumn of 1896. Most of the works were painted from the window of his room at the Hôtel d'Angleterre. This view shows the busy quay with the working-class quarter of Saint-Sever across the river in the background.
