A Concarneau (Finistère) is a 1874 by Maxime Lalanne, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy harbor town with boats docked along the shore. Buildings line the waterfront, and people work near the ships. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the scene, leaving some areas lightly shaded. Notice how the artist captured the everyday life of the harbor—no grand gestures, just real activity. The signature in the corner reads "Lalanne," matching the artist’s name. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Maxime Lalanne (French, 1827–1886).
