This stunning painting depicts two fishermen looking out over the harbour at Les Sables D'Alonne in Vendee, France at sunset. The water is filled with sail boats with men in row boats to the foreground and the pinks and yellows of the fading sunlight illuminate the sails and reflect in the calm water below. The work is of exceptional quality and in particular the use of light in the piece.

He began his apprenticeship very young with José María Romero, with whom he remained for two years until entering the School of Fine Arts in Seville, where he was under the tutelage of Eduardo Cano.
