About this work

This painting shows a flock of seagulls flying over a body of water. The birds are mostly white with some darker feathers, and they are scattered across the sky. In the background, there is a blue sky with some clouds. The painting has a dreamy quality to it, with soft brushstrokes and muted colors. The artist has captured the movement of the birds in a way that makes them seem like they are about to take flight. The painting is held at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
