Beach in Pourville, setting sun. is a 1892 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting shows a beach scene at sunset. The sky is painted with shades of yellow, orange, and pink, reflecting off the water. In the distance, there's a cliff with greenery on top. The painting's colors are muted, with lots of blues and browns in the foreground. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The artist used short, broken brushstrokes to capture the movement of the water and the play of light on the waves. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up "Claude Monet".
