About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Tom Roberts, a leading figure of Australian Impressionism, this work depicts a serene day at Mentone beach. The composition balances the heavy red cliffs with the bright, airy expanse of the sea, capturing the luminous quality of the light through rapid, painterly brushwork.
