DEGAS, Edgar
(b. 1834, Paris, d. 1917, Paris)

At the Beach

1876
Thinned oil on paper on canvas, 46 x 81 cm
National Gallery, London

This painting is among Degas's few genuinely Impressionist landscapes. However, this is no Manet or Monet beach scene, rather, it gathers a number of characteristic Degas motifs, such as the nanny combing the girl's hair.
