Boats in Le Havre is a 1894 oil by Eugène Boudin, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting shows a serene harbor scene with several boats, their masts and sails reflected in the calm water. The sky above is a soft blend of blues and whites, dotted with clouds. The boats are moored in a row, their hulls a mix of dark and light tones. In the background, the faint outlines of buildings can be seen, adding depth to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility, with the gentle play of light on the water and the boats.
