About the piece
Painted in 1884 by Belgian artist Jan Verhas, this vibrant work captures a fashionable late 19th-century summer pastime: donkey rides on the beach. Set at the Belgian resort of Heist-aan-Zee, the painting showcases Verhas's mastery of light and his ability to depict the innocent joy of childhood leisure against a sprawling coastal horizon.
