Label Text:
During the summers when the Jacquesson atelier was closed, the Tryons would travel. In summer 1878 they visited Normandy and Brittany. This painting is a scene of the fish market in Granville. It is an unusual painting, indeed the only one by Tryon in Smith's collection, in which a crowd of people is shown--anonymous, almost faceless people. The brushwork has become more pronounced than in the pre-European works. When Tryon wrote later about this period, he said that "I was at that time more interested in form and value than color."
