About the piece

Created in 1909, this pastel on paper by Léon Spilliaert captures the lighthouse of Ostend in a moment of quiet solitude. The work features the artist's characteristic atmospheric style, using a muted palette of slate blues and earthy greens, punctuated by a thin band of soft pink light at the horizon that suggests the very first light of dawn.
