Stormy seascape with a beached sailing boat, women in shawls on wet sand, and a horse and cart near dunes under a dark sky.

View of the Sea at Scheveningen

Under a heavy, dark storm sky, waves break across a grey-green sea toward a beached fishing boat with a red-tipped mast. Small figures in dark shawls and a horse-drawn cart walk along the wet sand and dune grass in the foreground.

Español: Vista del mar en Scheveningen

Bajo un cielo oscuro y tormentoso, las olas rompen sobre un mar gris verdoso hacia un barco de pesca varado con un mástil de punta roja. En primer plano, figuras pequeñas con chales oscuros y una carreta tirada por un caballo recorren la arena húmeda y la hierba de las dunas.

Português: Vista do mar em Scheveningen

Sob um céu escuro e tempestuoso, ondas quebram sobre um mar cinza-esverdeado em direção a um barco de pesca encalhado, com um mastro de ponta vermelha. No primeiro plano, figuras pequenas de xales escuros e uma carroça puxada por cavalo caminham pela areia molhada e pela grama das dunas.
