About MeBritish artist Walter Richard Sickert spent a great deal of time in Dieppe throughout his career, often during the summer. Two versions of this painting exist - the other has a vertical format. The vibrant, broken brushstrokes and patches of pure colour convey a feeling of both warmth and light and demonstrate his knowledge of the work of the French Impressionists. Such paintings earned Sickert the title 'Canaletto of Dieppe.'
