About the Artwork

The Beach at Saint-Jacut, 1909. Edouard Vuillard (French, 1868–1940). Distemper on paper, laid down on canvas; 57.8 x 43.2 cm (22 3/4 x 17 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Nancy F. and Joseph P. Keithley Collection, Gift, 2020.143.

Edouard Vuillard spent the summer of 1909 in the French coastal town of Saint-Jacut de la Mer, known for its beaches and bathing. Sharing housing with a group of artist friends, Vuillard sketched and painted avidly, depicting the seascape in several works including this drawing. Here, the artist emphasized the remoteness of the beach, depicting a woman sitting alone, wearing a gray dress that matches the tone of the infinitely expanding sky beyond her.
