"Man en vrouw aan zee" (Man and Woman by the Sea), a lithograph by Dutch artist Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter, depicts a seated couple gazing out to the horizon. The image is rendered in muted browns, giving it a somber tone, and the figures' solemn expressions suggest a contemplative mood. The work exemplifies Sluyter's mastery of the lithograph technique, a popular method in the 19th century, and is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
