‘Seaside’
20th Century School
A charming and delicately painted beach scene depicting small groups of figures gathered along a sandy shoreline. The composition is rendered in soft, muted tones, with gentle washes of colour suggesting sea and sky, while touches of brighter dress bring life and movement to the figures. A distant sailboat adds depth and a quiet sense of atmosphere to the scene.
