Unfurled Waves, Flood of September, 1901 (Les Vagues deferlent)

Französische Grafik 1899–1902, 1901

The image shows a coastal scene viewed from a slightly elevated perspective, looking across the sea. The horizon is high in the composition, where the water meets the sky. The style resembles a woodblock print, with flat areas of color and stylized brushstrokes depicting the sea. The color palette includes browns, blues, grays, and whites. The beach is shown with foamy water receding, and a group of figures and a boat are silhouetted against the waves.
