Guillaumin lived long, and on his travels around France and its coasts he painted characteristically Impressionist motifs. He used a rather violent, brusque brush-stroke that already, in the 1890s, anticipated Fauvism. His colours were vigorously contrasted and luminous, and sometimes became decoratively patterned.
