Coast Scene: Morning is a 1843 oil by Richard Parkes Bonington, a British Romanticism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a serene coastal scene at dawn. The sky is a soft blend of blues and whites, with the sun rising over the calm sea. In the foreground, two figures stand on the beach, accompanied by a horse. A large boat is beached to their right, with people and horses nearby. The artist's use of light and color creates a sense of tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye to the horizon. The brushstrokes are smooth, with subtle texture in the sand and sea.

Richard Parkes Bonington (25 October 1802 – 23 September 1828) was an English Romantic landscape painter.
