Jongkind 1865 The tower visible between the two ships is that of the church of Saint-Léonard. The church was built in the sixteenth century; the stone tower dates from the eighteenth century (see Cunningham 1976). One year before Jongking painted The Met's picture he made a watercolor of the same view, which he dated September 12, 1864 (Harvard University Art Museums, 1943.281). In the watercolor, there is a similar boat on the left, but it has two masts rather than three, and with different sails unfurled. There is only one boat on the right in the watercolor, as opposed to two in the painting. References on the original Julius Meier-Graefe. Entwicklungsgeschichte der Modernen Kunst. Vol. 2, 2nd ed.
