About the piece
Created around 1885 by Jacob Maris, this painting is a masterful example of the Hague School's focus on atmosphere and light. The composition features shell fishers and their horses on a vast Dutch beach, dwarfed by a magnificent, light-filled sky that captures the fleeting nature of coastal weather.
