Beach Scene 

Eugène Boudin, a renowned French painter known for his plein air (outdoor) landscapes, captures a serene beach scene with a group of figures gathered on the sand. The cloudy sky dominates the composition, painted with loose brushstrokes and soft colors, characteristic of Boudin's style. The figures are depicted with casual elegance, emphasizing the leisurely atmosphere of a day by the sea. This artwork showcases Boudin's skill in depicting light and atmosphere, which he honed through his early work as a street vendor selling seascapes in Normandy.
