About this work

This painting shows a young girl standing on a beach, looking out at the sea. She's wearing a long, dark dress and has her hair pulled back. In the background, there's a boat on the shore and the sea stretching out into the distance. The girl is standing next to a large, dark object that might be a piece of a boat or a building. The painting is done in muted colors, with lots of grays and browns. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting is held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
