He later exhibited at the Salon of Independent Artists and won a silver medal at The Paris Salon in 1932. His works, often centered on maritime life, reflect the influence of late 19th–early 20th century French impressionism, blending naturalism with atmospheric depth. This painting represents both his artistic mastery and the romantic maritime traditions of French art.
