The Beach at Trouville is a 1892 oil by Eugène Boudin, a Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a bustling beach scene. People are gathered on the sand, some sitting under colorful umbrellas, while others stand or walk around. The sky above is light and airy. In the foreground, a woman in a dark blue dress and hat sits on a chair, reading a book. Nearby, a child in a white dress plays on the sand. The atmosphere is lively, with people enjoying the sunny day. The artist's use of light colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and energy in the scene.
