About the work
In the museum's own words — in Spanish
Escena de bueyes sacando una barca del mar. En el anverso aparece una yunta de bueyes vistos desde atrás que avanzan hacia una barca varada vista de proa y con velas desplegadas. Al lado de uno de los bueyes un personaje agachado de espaldas ayuda a dirigir a los animales. Más al fondo, un pescador con sombrero y con el brazo extendido hacia delante, parece guiar la operación. En el reverso, estudios de figuras que repasan las velas.

Galerie Georges Petit: nearly 500 works
A one-man show at the Galeries Georges Petit in Paris — figures, landscapes, portraits, early works and recent sun-drenched beaches — eclipsed all his earlier successes. His productivity amazed critics, the show was a financial triumph, and it brought him the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honour.
