About the piece
Painted in 1869, this coastal scene by Edgar Degas demonstrates his unique approach to composition and his interest in the private moments of modern life. The work centers on a domestic scene between a woman and child on the beach, set against a wide, atmospheric expanse of sand and a horizon dotted with distant sailboats.
