This masterpiece by Maufra, with its unusual format, was probably intended as a decoration.   It is a picturesque scene depicting the caulking of a lugger, beached at low tide in the mudflats of Bas Bourgneuf, at the foot of mount Saint-Guénolé.  On the left can be seen the first mill on the Aven and a little further behind the village steeple.  Some women are bringing firewood for the fire.  The aesthetics of the Pont-Aven School are evident in the simplification of the layout and the strong decorative rhythms.
