Child on the Sea Side 1828

"Child on the Sea Side" is an 1828 oil painting by American artist Thomas Sully. The painting depicts a young girl in a white dress and red sash, walking along a beach with the sea in the background. Her red hair is blowing in the wind, and her expression is innocent and carefree. The painting is a fine example of Sully’s skill in portraiture, as well as his ability to capture the beauty of nature. The artist uses soft, flowing brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and light in the painting, highlighting the child’s delicate features and the soft, gentle waves of the sea.
