Beach Scene with Lighthouse (also known as Children at the Seashore) 1902

Maurice Prendergast's "Beach Scene with Lighthouse" (1902) is a vibrant watercolor painting depicting a lively scene of figures enjoying a day at the seashore. Prendergast's Impressionistic style is evident in the use of loose brushstrokes and bright colors, particularly the blue of the water and the green and gold tones of the sand. The painting, also known as "Children at the Seashore," captures the movement and energy of a summer day at the beach, with a lighthouse in the distance. Prendergast, who lived from 1858-1924, was known for his paintings of urban and seaside scenes.
