Adieux aux bains de mer 1863

"Adieux aux bains de mer" (1863) by Lorenz Frølich is a charming black and white lithograph that depicts a group of children bidding farewell to each other after spending time at the seaside. The scene is set outdoors, likely in a park or garden, with lush greenery in the background. The artist uses a delicate line to capture the interaction between the children, their clothes and expressions suggesting a tender moment of parting. The artwork's title, "Farewell to the Seaside Baths", highlights the nostalgic tone of the piece, making it a popular choice among art enthusiasts. This lithograph, part of the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst collection, is a fine example of 19th-century genre painting and serves as a poignant reminder of childhood friendship and the bittersweet nature of goodbyes.
