At Sea 1883

"At Sea" is a painting by Albert Edelfelt, a Finnish realist artist, completed in 1883. The painting depicts a man and a young woman in a small boat on a choppy sea. The man, likely a fisherman, is at the helm, while the woman sits beside him, gazing out at the turbulent water. The painting's realistic depiction of the sea and the figures within it highlights Edelfelt's skill as a painter and captures the harsh realities of life at sea. The painting's subject matter and composition are evocative of the genre of maritime art, which flourished in the 19th century, and the painting is representative of the realist movement in art during that era.
