Calais beach with shrimpers and a dog 

David Cox, a prominent British watercolorist, captured a tranquil scene in “Calais Beach with Shrimpers and a Dog.” The painting depicts a group of women in traditional attire, likely shrimpers, gathered on a sandy beach with their baskets. The watercolor's soft hues and delicate brushstrokes evoke the calmness of the seaside. The distant ships and the birds in flight add to the composition’s peaceful atmosphere, exemplifying Cox's mastery of this medium.
