Catalogue Note
Harris studied art in Boston, London and Paris. While he is best known for his commissioned portraits, Duval laments that they "overshadowed [his] more original Impressionism-inspired landscapes, painted for his own pleasure."
The year this work was painted, the Harrisses made their last trip to Etaples-sur-mer.
