About the piece
Painted in 1883, Pierre-Auguste Renoir's 'By the Seashore' is a classic example of Impressionist leisure and light. The work depicts a woman—likely the artist's future wife, Aline Charigot—seated on the Normandy coast, with the soft, dappled light of the shore beautifully rendered in a palette of blues, golds, and cream.
