About the piece

Created by French artist Félix Ziem around 1855, this oil study showcases a dramatic interplay between the deep shadows of the shoreline and the luminous, golden light of dusk. The thick, expressive impasto on the panel creates a rich, tactile surface that enhances the quiet drama of the twilight scene.
