Beach View is a 1692 oil by Abraham Storck, held at Mauritshuis.
This painting shows a serene beach scene with a few people and dogs gathered near the shore. In the distance, several boats are sailing on the water, their sails billowing in the wind. The sky above is cloudy, with a few birds flying overhead. A closer look reveals a group of people standing near the water's edge, some of whom are holding fishing nets or baskets. A dog is running along the beach, adding a sense of movement to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and peacefulness.
