Low Tide 1897

"Low Tide," a watercolor by American artist Maurice Prendergast, captures a vibrant scene of leisure on a rocky beach. Painted in 1897, the artwork depicts a group of figures enjoying the receding tide, with the blue water stretching out to the horizon. Prendergast, known for his bold colors and lively compositions, uses a distinct brushstroke to create a sense of movement and energy in the figures. The painting highlights the artist's interest in capturing the fleeting beauty of everyday life and the interaction between people and the natural world.
