In the summer of 1866, Paul Cézanne returned to his family home at Aix-en-Provence, making a series of portraits including this one of his maternal uncle Dominique Aubert. The use of a palette knife in this painting gives an aggressive painterly quality to the work.

'Fishing Boats at Sea,' is one of three views of fishing fleets at sea that Monet painted between the autumn of 1868 and the spring of 1869 at Etretat; the boats in the foreground appear larger than the vessels behind them, giving a sense of rapid recession into depth.
