Un Grain à Trouville (Squall at Trouville)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a beach scene with people on the sandy area near the sea. A cloud stretches across the sky above the horizon line. In the foreground, people with umbrellas are gathered, next to a pavilion with flags. Boats can be seen on the horizon. The color palette is mainly sepia tones with contrast created through blacks and deep browns, giving a vintage feel to the scene. The atmosphere conveys a bustling day at the beach.
