Courbet frequently visited the seaside throughout his career, and the sea held a special fascination for him. A year prior to painting this picture, he wrote, 'The sea! The sea with its charms saddens me. In its joyful moods, it makes me think of the laughing tiger; in its sad moods it recalls the crocodile's tears, and in its roaring fury, the caged monster that cannot swallow me up.'
Gustave Courbet, La Grève, 1865. Estimate GBP 150,000 - GBP 250,000.
This lot is offered in our Old Masters Evening Sale, part of Classic Week, on 8 December at Christie's London, King Street.
