The artwork, titled “Embers,” was created by Andrew Wyeth in the year 2000. It belongs to the Contemporary Realism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape.
The artwork intricately depicts a coastal scene with a fine layer of pebbles covering the ground. In the foreground lies a smoldering piece of driftwood, surrounded by what appears to be the remnants of a lobster meal – distinguished by the vivid red shells scattered among the coals. Smoky tendrils rise from the embers, trailing upwards and blending seamlessly into the sky above, which is subtly rendered in muted tones. The seascape in the background features calm, dark waters, creating a stark contrast with the bright and detailed elements on the shore. The overall composition evokes a sense of quiet aftermath and contemplative solitude.
