De Baders 1917

"De Baders" is a 1917 lithograph by Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert. The artwork portrays a couple, possibly a man and a woman, on a beach. The woman is wearing a bathing suit and a hat. The man's figure is obscured, making their pose and relationship ambiguous. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner. This work exemplifies Spilliaert’s distinctive style, known for its use of lines, shading, and a sense of melancholy. The subject matter of the piece, a solitary moment on the beach, evokes a feeling of isolation and introspection.
