Ostend (Seul avec l'ocean sous le regard de Dieu!)

Félicien Rops

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a man standing on a beach. The man is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a long coat, and light-colored pants. He stands on the right side of the image, facing left. His hands are clasped in front of him. The ocean is behind him, with three birds flying in the sky to his left. The drawing is in a rectangular frame, with the word "OSTENDE" at the top. Below the drawing, there is a line of text that reads "Seul avec l'Ocean sous le regard de Dieu!" and some smaller illegible text underneath. The paper is aged and worn, with a few creases and tears.
