The artwork “Cape Hatteras, Seascape with Wylanta and Joan” was created by Frank Mason in 1980. It belongs to the art movement of Classical Realism and falls under the genre painting category. The artwork features a seaside scene rendered with attention to realistic details and an emotive ambiance, typical of Classical Realism.
In the artwork, two women and a child are depicted relaxing on a beach at Cape Hatteras. One of the women, donning a red headscarf, holds the child in her lap while they sit on a wooden chair, focusing their gaze on the child. The other woman reclines on a chair, her face partially obscured by a wide-brimmed hat, exuding an aura of leisurely repose as she cradles her right leg. The beachscape is painted in vibrant hues, capturing the interplay of light and shadow with a calm sea in the background under a partly cloudy sky. The scene evokes a serene, sun-drenched day at the beach, emphasizing themes of relaxation and familial bond.
