By the sea 1904

"By the Sea" is a watercolor painting created in 1904 by Armenian artist Martiros Sarian, known for his landscapes depicting the beauty of his homeland. This artwork is a serene portrayal of a solitary tree, likely a willow, standing against a backdrop of rippling waves suggestive of a vast, open sea. Sarian's use of soft, muted blues and greens creates a tranquil mood, reminiscent of a quiet moment by the water's edge. The painting is a captivating example of Sarian's early style, characterized by subtle brushstrokes and a sensitivity to natural forms.
