A lone figure walks along a rocky shore with the sea and sky in the background. The clouds are tinged with pink and orange, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. Daubigny painted this beautiful seascape in Villerville-sur-Mer in Normandy. On an otherwise empty beach, a lone shell seeker walks along, with a basket on her back. Hague School painters greatly admired Daubigny. His broad brushstrokes and subtle colour nuances were ideally suited to depicting the Dutch landscape.
