About the piece

Painted in 1865, this masterwork by Gustave Courbet captures the quietude of the French coast at Trouville. The composition is dominated by a vast, moody sky, where soft greys and blues blend into a distant horizon, while the textured beach at low tide grounds the scene with earthy tones and subtle brushwork.
