## Commentary

The present signed and dated coastal scene, depicting a Mediterranean seaport with Orientals conversing beneath an ancient Roman arch, a man&#39;o&#39;-war at anchor beyond, is characteristic of Lacroix&#39;s refined style. It features motifs and elements popular with artists influenced by Vernet in their recreation of a timeless Mediterranean world.
