Eugène Boudin painted ‘Beach Scene’ around c. 1865–1867. The medium is oil on wood panel. The work is part of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection.

The painting measures an intimate size, suitable for close viewing. The Cleveland Museum of Art acquired it in 1917.

Boudin was known for capturing coastal scenes. His technique often involved painting on-site to capture the effects of light and atmosphere.
