The artwork titled “Woman with a dog walking on the beach” was created by the artist Kees van Dongen in 1937. Falling under the art movement of Expressionism, this figurative piece stands as a testament to van Dongen’s characteristic style during that period.
In the artwork, one observes a woman depicted walking alongside her dog on a serene beach. The woman’s attire consists of a dark coat and a pale skirt, with her upper body shielded from the elements by a large, dark umbrella. The dog at her side is painted in dark blue and black tones, its form contrasting vividly against the backdrop. The overall palette features subdued and muted colors, with the sandy beach and cloudy sky rendered in soft blues and grays. The reflection of the figures on the wet sand adds a dynamic quality to the piece, encapsulating a moment of tranquil companionship amid nature’s expanse.
