At the end of May 1888 van Gogh took a trip to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a fishing village on the Mediterranean coast. He painted here two seascapes and a view of the village along with a number of drawings that he based paintings on once he was back in his studio.

On the present drawing van Gogh based a painting (F 420) by adding colours to it subsequently in the studio.
