Item Description

An original, signed, Marie Charlot, this painting shows a gathering of young Victorian women at the beach as they dare to venture out into the water with their parasols and hats and ribbons, the foaming sea blending into the heavy impasto of their pale dresses. The scene, rendered in a palette of frothy gray and lavender, is quintessential Marie Charlot, who is known as one of the finest artists with a keen sense of popular history. From the New Jersey shore, she has researched the archives of Atlantic City history creating the beautiful beach scenes of yesteryear all rendered in magnificent oils. Her impressionistic technique makes liberal use of the art palette knife to add a sense of subtlety to her works.

This piece comes in a distressed orchid frame measuring 41''w x 29''h, while the painting itself measures 36''w x 24''h.
