On the Beach, Trouville

Eugène Boudin, 1887

This is a painting of a seaside scene with people sitting on a sandy beach. In the center is a group of three women and one child. The women wear high-necked dresses and tall hats in shades of red, yellow, and pink. The child appears to wear a white dress and a yellow hat. The people all have pale skin and no visible facial features. On the left are two more people, a woman holding a parasol and a child in an orange dress. The background features a soft horizon that seamlessly blends the pale gray sea and sky. The small silhouettes of more people can be seen by the water in the distance. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible, giving the scene a blurred appearance.
