More about this artwork

Eugène Boudin's "Princess Pauline Metternich on the Beach," painted around 1865-67, captures the charm and elegance of its era through the lens of Impressionism. This mesmerizing artwork portrays Princess Pauline Metternich, an influential figure in European high society, strolling along the beach. The focus of the composition is on her graceful figure, dressed in a fashionable white dress with intricate details, complemented by a bold red underskirt and a delicate black hat. The background features another figure, dressed in a striking blue outfit, which enhances the vivid contrast and adds depth to the scene.Boudin’s striking use of light and brushwork emphasizes the movement of the sea breeze against her dress and the calm, expansive seascape behind. The artist's technique allows the viewer to almost feel the fresh coastal air and the gentle motion of the fabric. This painting not only reflects the social customs and fashion of the time but also stands as a testament to Boudin’s skill in capturing fleeting moments with immediacy and poise.

Eugène Louis Boudin (12 July 1824 – 8 August 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "King of the skies".
