De zeedijk te Oostende van op het staketsel gezien 1910

"De zeedijk te Oostende van op het staketsel gezien" (The Seawall at Ostend Seen from the Jetty) is a 1910 drawing by Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert. The drawing depicts a simple yet striking view of the seawall at Ostend, Belgium, with a focus on the silhouetted cityscape against a pale sky. Spilliaert was known for his melancholic depictions of landscapes and cityscapes, which often reflected his inner turmoil and anxieties. The artist's use of soft, muted colors and simplified forms in this piece creates a sense of isolation and stillness, characteristic of Spilliaert's artistic style.
