About the piece

Painted in 1904, this tempera work by Wassily Kandinsky captures a rhythmic gathering on a Dutch shore. The vibrant highlights of the traditional costumes contrast sharply with the deep, atmospheric black of the evening sky and sea, reflecting the artist's early interest in rhythmic composition and European folk traditions.
