About the piece

Painted in 1907 by American artist Charles Herbert Woodbury, 'At Sea' is a masterclass in Tonalist marine painting. The work eschews the safety of the shore to focus entirely on the raw movement of the water and the heavy, atmospheric quality of the overcast sky. Its sophisticated palette of deep greens and earthy ochres creates a grounding and substantial presence for any interior.
