This painting captures the everyday lives of oyster harvesters along the shores of Cancale, a small fishing village in Brittany, France. With a soft, atmospheric quality, John Singer Sargent uses subtle lighting and a muted color palette to evoke the calm of the seaside and the industrious nature of the figures at work. The composition reflects Sargent’s keen observational skills and his interest in depicting the rhythms of rural life.
The artwork is part of the collection at the Corcoran Gallery of Art (now under the National Gallery of Art), Washington, D.C.
