About the piece
Painted in 1882 by Norbert Goeneutte, this work captures a moment of elegant transit across a choppy sea. The 'Passenger' is depicted with fashionable grit, her pink scarf providing a vibrant splash of color against the moody, overcast sky and the churning white foam of the waves crashing against the hull.
