This is one of several views Claude Monet painted of Pourville, a fishing village on the north coast of France in Normandy. Pourville featured a boardwalk, a broad beach, and stunning cliffs. According to the artist's correspondence, the village was nothing special, but he was inspired by the landscape: "One could not be any closer to the sea than I am, on the pebbled beach itself and the waves beat at the foot of the house." During the spring of 1882 in Pourville, Monet stayed in a small hotel similar to the dwellings seen at the foot of the cliff to the right in this painting.
