Waves Lapping is a 1887 unspecified by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
A woman in a white dress and blue apron stands on a wooden dock, bending slightly as she reaches toward the water. Nearby, a small wooden boat floats, tied to a post. In the background, another person sits on a bench on the dock, and a larger ship with red walls is moored. The water is calm, reflecting the sky and buildings along the shore. The brushstrokes here are loose, almost blending into the scene, which makes the light look soft and natural. This style was meant to show life as it really happened, not polished or perfect. Try looking up Impressionism next to see how this painting fits into that movement.
