Port at Low Tide 

Eugène Boudin, known for his plein air paintings, captured the beauty of a port at low tide in this pastel drawing. The soft, sweeping strokes of pastel create a sense of movement and atmospheric depth, highlighting the play of light and shadow on the water and the receding shoreline. Boudin's use of light and color creates a sense of tranquility and evokes the natural beauty of the seaside landscape. The pastel drawing depicts a harbor scene at low tide, with a few small boats and a few figures on the shore. The scene is rendered with a loose and impressionistic style, capturing the fleeting moments of light and atmosphere.
