About the workWhile the clouds, water and sand in this painting are clearly distinguishable from one another, the sequence of different pastel colours makes the image seem almost abstract. German Grobe was one of a number of landscape painters in Düsseldorf who were primarily concerned with capturing and conveying calm moods. He spent a lot of time on the Dutch and Belgian coasts, where he observed people and landscapes – this study was probably painted there, too.
