More information
Arosenius spends the summer of 1904 together with fellow artist Axel Törneman in Normandy. They settle in the small fishing village of Coudeville, where they find accommodation in a rural inn. Arosenius writes about the stay in a letter to his mother: 'It's hot as hell here, so one can't muster the energy to go anywhere. [...] There's a tavern on the ground floor, and in the evenings, the fishermen come and sit down to drink, and we usually sit there sometimes and practice our French.'
