Victorian era oil painting by Henrietta Rae. This is a detailed, highly realistic oil painting, the painting depicts a fantastical, ethereal scene set in a misty overcast beach. The subject of the painting is a young woman with long flowing auburn hair wearing a sheer white dress, she is walking on the beach along with the incoming tide towards the viewer at sunset, there is a fantastical rock formation in the ocean behind her, the air is misty with spray from the waves in the background
