The artwork titled “Beach Scene – Morning at Canoe Place” was created by the artist William Merritt Chase in 1896. Executed in oil on panel, this piece is a representation of the Impressionism art movement. Measuring 24.77 by 35.56 cm, it is classified under the landscape genre and is currently held in a private collection.
In the artwork, a serene beachfront expanses under a bright sky, with gentle waves lapping against the shore. Figures, including a child in the foreground playing in the sand and another figure farther along the beach, are depicted with soft brushstrokes and a light palette. The sense of movement in the water is captured meticulously, and the distant horizon features a series of masts, possibly indicating a marina or moored vessels. The scene evokes a tranquil morning atmosphere, exhibiting Chase’s mastery in capturing natural light and ambiance.
