"By the Sea" is a captivating painting that exemplifies the Impressionism movement, capturing the serene scenery near Yerres, a charming commune in the southeastern suburbs of Paris.

While primarily landscape, it subtly blends elements reminiscent of a Portrait by focusing on figures or natural elements that invite viewers into a quiet, reflective moment by the water.
