About this work

This painting shows a quiet coastal scene with rolling hills, a few scattered trees, and a distant town by the sea. The sky is soft and pale, while the land has warm browns and greens. In the far background, a mountain looms over the water. The artist signed and dated it 1896—this sketch captures a real place, not just imagination. The brushstrokes are loose, blending colors smoothly. Next, check out Impressionism to see how this style fits into the bigger picture.
