"17 Mile Drive" (1918) by Rose O'Neill depicts a serene seascape. The artist, known for her illustrations and cartoons, explores a different side of her artistic talent in this painting. The canvas showcases a tranquil beach with rolling waves and a sandy shore, framed by a line of trees against a misty, lavender sky. The Impressionistic brushstrokes and muted color palette evoke a sense of tranquility and the soft light of a summer morning. This painting is a departure from O'Neill's usual whimsical style, offering a glimpse into her talent for capturing natural beauty.
