Excerpt from accompanying letter:
"...the painting is undoubtedly by my father. The subject Sardine boats in the port of Sauzon, Belle Île. The date most probably in the 1950's. Though it is a recollection, possibly done from earlier sketches of the scene as he would have known it in the late 20's - early 30's..."
