At Sea is a 1870 oil by Jules Dupré, a Barbizon school work, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting depicts a dramatic seascape with a small boat in the foreground, set against a backdrop of turbulent waves and a cloudy sky. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of texture and depth, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. A closer look reveals the subtle play of light on the water's surface, with the waves appearing to move and shift in the light. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement, capturing the power and beauty of the sea.
