More about this artwork

Édouard Manet’s “Woman Lying on the Beach - Annabel Lee”, executed between 1879 and 1882, captures a tranquil, reflective moment by the seaside. This painting presents a young woman, Annabel Lee, in a serene repose on the beach. Clad in period attire, including a broad hat and fitted jacket, she lies close to the shore, her gaze fixed in contemplation.The woman's position on the sand, with her elbows resting and her cheek cradled by her hand, creates an intimate snapshot of leisure and solitude. The use of a minimalist palette, predominantly shades of gray, lends the scene a soft, almost ethereal quality while emphasizing the subtle textures of the sand and the gentle ripples of the sea.In the background, the sea stretches out to the horizon, dotted with faint outlines of sailing boats, enhancing the sense of peaceful isolation. The brushwork is loose and expressive, typical of Manet’s style, which allows the viewer to feel the breezy atmosphere of the seaside setting.This artwork not only highlights Manet’s mastery in capturing the essence and mood of his subjects but also serves as a poignant reminder of the simple beauty found in moments of solitude.

Édouard Manet (1832–1883) was a French modernist painter and one of the first 19th century artists to paint modern life. His impressionist style is characterized by relatively small and thin brushstrokes that create emphasis on light depiction. Manet was one of the key artists in the transition from realism to impressionism, along with Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. However, he resisted involvement in any one specific style of painting, and only presented his work to the Salon of Paris instead of impressionist exhibitions. His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia, created great controversy and served as a rallying point for other young painters.
