It is held at the Yale University Art Gallery, in New Haven.It depicts the harbor of La Rochelle on the Bay of Biscay. Although Corot was producing his renowned grey landscapes by 1851, this painting recalls his earlier style. It is notable for being a finished study that Corot chose to exhibit at the Paris Salon of 1852, as he usually preferred to exhibit compositions of religious or literary subjects.
