On the Shore, Aberystwyth 1885

"On the Shore, Aberystwyth," painted in 1885 by Roderic O'Conor, captures the serene beauty of a Welsh seascape. The painting depicts a rocky outcropping emerging from the calm, turquoise waters of the sea, punctuated by delicate whitecaps. The artist's use of muted tones evokes a sense of tranquility and the vastness of the natural world, characteristic of O'Conor's plein air landscape paintings. This work showcases his interest in capturing the interplay of light and shadow and the subtle nuances of natural forms.
