The Beach at Saint-Jacut

Edouard Vuillard

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a beach scene. The sky above is cloudy and gray, with darker clouds on the left and lighter on the right. A sliver of blue sky peek through the clouds on the right. The sea is on the left, with a dark area indicating deeper water. A line of greenish-brown land or cliffs stretches across the center. The sandy beach in the foreground is light brown with several small pools of water, some blue and some green. A few indistinct shapes are scattered on the beach. A figure sits on the beach, wearing a white dress and a red hat. The figure faces left. The painting style is impressionist with visible brushstrokes. The Beach at Saint-Jacut by Edouard Vuillard.
