Oil on canvas.
This is a copy of the painting by Eugène Le Poittevin preserved in the Musée Maritime de l'île Tatihou in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, Normandy.
The Parisian painter and engraver mainly created coastal landscapes, with frequent settings on the coasts of Northern France, and scenes of maritime life, often dramatic, shipwrecks, boats at the mercy of the stormy sea.
He was a valid interpreter of French realism, rendered with often dark atmospheres.
This painting proposes a particular scene: some sailors face the rough sea at night with a small boat, to carry out the difficult task of turning on the warning lamps in the middle of the sea.
The painting shows traces of restoration and previous repaintings.
It is presented in a stylish frame.
