Studie an der Küste von New Jersey

Amerikanische Grafik 1879–1892, 1881

The artwork presents a seascape with a low horizon that divides the composition into sea and sky. The ocean stretches across the lower half, rendered in deep, muted blues and greens with textured brushstrokes suggesting the movement of waves. The upper half is dominated by a sky filled with layered clouds, painted with grays, whites, and hints of pink and blue. The brushwork is loose and expressive, capturing the motion of both water and clouds. The palette is subdued.
