The Breaking Waves, Tide of September 1901

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a monochromatic seascape with a boat on the left side. The boat is small and dark, with three people on board. It sits on choppy water near a shoreline. Large waves crash against the shore and the boat. The waves are white and foamy, with dark shadows underneath. The water extends to the horizon, meeting a dark, cloudy sky. The image is framed by a beige border with handwritten notes in the bottom corners.
