Le Quai Henri IV is located in Dieppe, in Normandy, on the coast of Northern France. In 1898, Sickert travelled to Dieppe, a picturesque old town with a bustling port, and one of the most fashionable resorts in France at the time. Its beautiful architecture and invigorating climate, along with its easy accessibility via the Channel from England or the railway from Paris, appealed to French and English artists alike: Turner, Monet, Renoir, Degas and Pissarro all found inspiration in the town. Sickert was delighted with this new artistic spot and wrote to his friend, Mrs Humphrey, 'this place, Dieppe, is my only, up to now, goldmine, and I must work at it a bit till I get a decent comfort' (W. Baron (ed.), Sickert Paintings, London, 1992, p. 114).
