Beach Scene with Boats 1915

"Beach Scene with Boats" is a watercolor painting created in 1915 by American artist Maurice Prendergast, known for his vibrant colors and depictions of urban life. The painting captures a moment of leisure at the beach, featuring figures in brightly colored clothing, their faces obscured by large hats, gazing out at the sea where two sailboats are visible. The scene is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with dabs and washes of color, emphasizing the movement and vibrancy of the summer day.
