Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a beach scene illustrated in a sketch-like style. A man wearing a hat and a short outfit stands on the left, with a dog beside him. Another man, naked, faces the water on the right. The horizon is at the upper third of the image, with a bright light source in the sky. The sky has clouds and distant land formations. The brushstrokes are rapid and fluid, giving a sense of movement. The color scheme is black and off-white, creating high contrast and emphasizing the figures and landscape.
