About the piece
Painted in 1891 by Rupert Bunny, this evocative work captures a group of sea-folk resting along a hazy shoreline. The artist's masterful use of soft, pearlescent light across the water and sky creates a dreamlike atmosphere characteristic of his fascination with mythological themes and aestheticism.
