Lady in White on the Beach at Trouville 1869

Eugène Boudin’s *Lady in White on the Beach at Trouville* (1869) captures the beauty of a seaside scene in Normandy, France. The artist, known for his pioneering work in plein air painting, skillfully portrays the bright light of the beach and the gentle breeze that ruffles the woman's dress. Boudin captures the everyday activities of people enjoying their leisure time, using loose brushstrokes and muted colors. The painting's relaxed atmosphere and emphasis on light and atmosphere are hallmarks of Boudin’s style. The artwork reflects the growing popularity of seaside resorts in the 19th century and the emergence of Impressionism.
