This original painting by Bernard Dufour depicts a coastal harbor scene featuring moored fishing boats set against a shoreline with clustered buildings and calm water beyond. Executed with expressive brushwork and layered color, the composition blends warm earth tones with cool blues to create depth, movement, and atmosphere. Textured application and loose linework give the scene a lively, painterly quality, while the vertical orientation draws the eye from the boats toward the distant waterfront. The work is signed Bernard Dufour at the lower right and is presented in a gilt frame that complements the coastal palette and enhances its decorative appeal.
