Beeldbeschrijving
The image shows a shoreline looking out towards the sea. A lighthouse is on a pier extending into the water on the left side. The watercolor painting displays gentle and fluid brushstrokes, creating a serene texture. The color palette includes sandy beige, pale blue, and hints of green. Closest to us is a sandy beach with dune grass, while further out, several sailboats are seen on gentle waves. The sky above is a light wash of blue and gray with hints of white clouds.
