Marine Sunset by Henry Richter, c. 1920s–1930s P3494

A serene coastal seascape by Henry Leopold Richter (1870–1960), executed in oil on canvas. Richter, an Austrian-born American painter, is best known for his California landscapes and plein air works, often capturing desert and coastal scenes with a sensitive use of light and atmosphere.

This composition depicts a tranquil shoreline at dusk, with soft, rolling waves illuminated by a glowing sunset sky of pinks, violets, and warm orange tones. Loose, impressionistic brushwork and a muted palette create a sense of movement and quiet reflection, while the low horizon emphasizes the expansive sky and fading light.

A beautiful example of early 20th-century California Impressionist influence, embodying both mood and place.
