Do You Know Jean Michel Laurent?

Just bought this oil painting for a song! The artist, Jean Michel Laurent is a known French painter of seascapes, who was born in 1898 and died in 1988. His works have been sold through some important auction houses, but otherwise I don't know much about him.

I hope to find out the name of this painting and any other details about Laurent that are out there. I believe this may be a painting from a series he seems to have done about fishermen on the French or Dutch coast.

Any suggestions about where to look? The Web hasn't turned up much yet. Thanks for any input.
