About the piece

Created in 1901 by the Dutch artist Jan Toorop, this impressionistic oil painting captures the elemental power of the sea. The work features a rhythmic series of cresting waves in shades of sage green and pale yellow, set against a brooding, heavy sky. Toorop's confident brushwork gives the water a tactile, sculptural quality that brings life and movement to any wall.
