In 1872, Monet travelled to his native Havre. The purpose of the trip was to prepare new works for the forthcoming exhibition. The present picture is one of the four paintings produced during his stay in Havre. Not without prompting from Japanese woodcuts, Monet "carved" his compositional structure.

All of us have some resiliency to cope with challenges. When we encounter difficult experiences that take us past the range of our ability to tolerate, the ways we tend to respond fall into one of two categories: those of us who get agitated, and those of us who shut down.
