At the Shore is a 1901 unspecified by Alfred Maurer, a American Impressionism work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
The painting depicts a group of people gathered on a beach, with a few individuals standing in the foreground and others in the background. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky and a body of water, possibly an ocean or a lake. In the foreground, a young girl in a white dress is shown holding an object, possibly a shell or a piece of seaweed. She is surrounded by several adults, including a man wearing a suit and a woman in a long dress. The group appears to be engaged in conversation, with some individuals gesturing or pointing to something in the distance. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye to the figures in the foreground.
