Groupe au bord de la mer 1865 - 1870

Eugène Boudin’s “Groupe au bord de la mer” is a watercolor sketch featuring four figures, likely a family, walking on the beach. The quick brushstrokes, characteristic of Boudin's plein air style, capture the fleeting moment in a loose and suggestive manner. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, highlighting the figures against the sandy background. This sketch exemplifies Boudin’s significant contributions to Impressionism, showcasing his influence on later generations of artists.
