Where Snow Meets the Sea

Where Snow Meets the Sea presents a vivid winter scene in a quiet harbor town, where a group of boys engages in a spirited snowball fight along the snow-covered shoreline. Boats rest along the coast, nestled in the crisp white snow, while the children bring life and movement to the otherwise still landscape. The composition is rich in atmosphere and energy, executed in earthy and cool tones, with confident, expressive brushwork.

At once animated and introspective, the painting captures the delicate meeting of snow and sea—an evocation of both playful vitality and serene winter stillness. Though unsigned, and with an unfinished composition visible on the reverse, the work reveals the sensibility of a skilled painter active in the late 19th or early 20th century—an artist attuned to the poetry of light, gesture, and the fleeting rhythms of everyday life by the sea.
