This drawing is one of Millet's very rare depictions of a naval scene. Two fishing boats are caught in a strong wind in the forefront, under a heavy sky, while two steamboats on the horizon seem unaffected. Millet exhibited this scene at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in1887, it then joined the collection of Count Armand Doria where it stayed until 1899 -français- Ce dessin est une des très rares marines de Millet. Au premier plan, deux bateaux de pêche sont pris dans un coup de vent. Sur l'horizon, deux bateaux à vapeur naviguent, impassibles, sous le ciel chargé. Cette œuvre a été exposée à l'Ecole des Beaux Arts en 1887 avant de rejoindre la collection du Comte Armand Doria jusqu'en 1899.
