Site

Violet and Blue: The Little Bathers, Perros-Guirec, Fogg Art Museum

Violet and Silver: Low Tide, Belle-Isle-en-mer, The Hunterian

This is similar in technique to paintings of the French coast such as Violet and Blue: The Little Bathers, Perros-Guirec [YMSM 382] and the rich colour is comparable to that in a watercolour, r.: Violet and Silver: Low Tide, Belle-Isle-en-mer; v.: Head of a woman with a Breton head-dress [M.1597] but the site cannot be identified with certainty.
