The painting depicts a beach on the Côte de Grâce with sailboats, the hospital of Honfleur, and a lighthouse in the distance. In the foreground, a solitary figure in a blue smock stands on the beach. The painting was created with short, thick brushstrokes, typical of Impressionism.[1]
Monet painted The Beach at Honfleur in the summer of 1864, when he and Frédéric Bazille were staying at nearby Sainte-Adresse, where Monet's parents kept a summer house.[1] Monet painted several scenes of the harbor, jetty, and town of Honfleur during this time period, including A Cart on the Snowy Road at Honfleur.
A painting reminiscent of The Beach at Honfleur is depicted in Studio on Rue Furstenberg (1866) by Bazille.[2] Monet and Bazille shared this studio in Paris from 1864 to 1866.[1]
