Boy at the seashore 1895

"Boy at the Seashore" (1895) by Victor Borisov-Musatov is a striking example of the artist's style, known for its melancholic mood and symbolist imagery. The painting depicts a lone boy, nude and contemplative, sitting on a sandy shore facing the rippling sea. His posture and the muted palette convey a sense of solitude and introspective thought, characteristic of Borisov-Musatov's exploration of the human condition and the power of nature. This work is housed in the prestigious Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
