Description: | Signed: yes Description: A woman is walking away from the sea, looking back as she goes. She wears a dark striped dress, a cloak and a white cap. Her two children are with her; she cradles a baby in her arms and an older boy holding her hand. The sky is clouded over, and the waves are breaking out at sea. The mother's pose implies that either she is awaiting the return of a loved one or, more poignantly, is remembering the father of her children who has been lost at sea. Such images were popular both with artists and with the public, and Sadée painted this scene many times. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Sadée, Philip Lodewijk Jacob Frederik (Dutch painter, 1837-1904) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9194... | Go to resource |
