Born in Ohio, Frank Myers Boggs became a naturalized French citizen in 1923. It was in Paris that he found his greatest success. Best known for his somber and detailed maritime and harbor scenes, the present painting is among the largest of such works to come to market in decades.

This painting has undergone a professional cleaning, varnish, and retouch; the retouch is minimally visible under UV light; yellowing to the varnish.
