This picture shows two small, dark figures walking along a rocky beach. The sand is light and uneven, with scattered stones. Behind them, the ocean is choppy, and a few hills fade into the misty sky. The figures are simple shapes—just two dark blobs with no faces or details. The artist focused more on the rough textures of the rocks and sand than on the people. Next, check out Impressionism to see how artists used light and loose brushstrokes to create scenes like this.
