Rockaway Beach, Long Island, New York 

Ralph Blakelock's "Rockaway Beach, Long Island, New York" showcases a bustling scene on the beach. The artist uses loose brushstrokes to capture the movement of the figures, the vastness of the sky and the choppy waves. In the foreground, we see a group of bathers enjoying the water while the boardwalk is lined with people enjoying the summer day. This painting offers a glimpse into the leisure activities of the late 19th century in America.
