as it depicts a sea wave gracefully caressing the shore on a cloudy day.
The overcast sky casts a soft diffused light over the painting,
creating a calm but taciturn atmosphere.

with its deep blue-green hue contrasting with the paler tones of the sea.
The wave seems frozen in time, on the verge of breaking, showing a delicate balance between its strength and its fragility.
balance between its strength and its fragility. When it touches the shore, the crest of the wave
curves gracefully and a frothy white mane crowns its top.
