At sea 

Jozef Israëls, known for his depictions of everyday life, captures a poignant scene in "At Sea." A woman, likely a fisherman's wife, carries a young child on her back as they wade through shallow water. The figures are silhouetted against the vast, hazy sea, with a small boat in the distance. The soft light and loose brushstrokes create a melancholic mood, suggesting the harsh realities faced by coastal communities. The painting is a powerful portrayal of human resilience in the face of challenging circumstances.
