Pourville-sur-Mer

Follower of James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The watercolor painting features a beach scene viewed from a raised angle. Small figures in muted clothing are scattered across the sandy shore. Tall flagpoles with colored flags are on the left side. The horizon is low in the painting, with the sea meeting the sky. The brushwork is light with pastel colors suggesting a tranquil, breezy day. The sea blends with the sky in soft gradient hues, creating a sense of calm and vastness.
