Description
Monet completed this painting while he was still a student, the coastline depicts a beach near to where he grew up.
The image has a wintry feel, the desolate shingle beach is empty of people except for three people in the boat wrapped up against the cold.
Sailing boats are visible in the distance, their sails set against a luminous sky with a glimmer of sunlight.
This significant painting marked the official beginning of his public career.
