This oil painting by J. Miller depicts a serene beach scene with two elegantly dressed women walking along the shore. The woman in the foreground wears a flowing blue dress and a sun hat, carrying a bouquet of flowers, while the other woman in the background is dressed in a similar style, gazing out toward the ocean. The setting includes a lighthouse on the left, sailboats in the distance, and a soft pastel sky, evoking a peaceful and nostalgic coastal atmosphere.The painting features impressionistic brushstrokes, with a focus on texture, particularly in the sand and water. The muted color palette, dominated by blues, whites, and warm beige tones, enhances the tranquil mood. The frame is a light, neutral color, complementing the artwork’s soft aesthetic.This painting is in the Impressionist style, characterized by visible brushstrokes, soft color transitions, and a focus on capturing light and atmosphere rather than fine details.More specifically, it falls under Romantic Impressionism, often seen in decorative art featuring elegant figures in serene settings. The artist uses:• Loose, textured brushwork to create movement in the sand, water, and sky.• Soft pastel tones to enhance the dreamy, nostalgic feel.• A coastal theme that reflects tranquility and elegance, reminiscent of 19th-century French Impressionism, but likely intended as a decorative piece rather than a historical fine art work.
