Together, the couple are best known as late 19th century plein air landscape painters of Marin County, California, where they settled in 1894. During visits with family to Savannah in the 1890s, Ludmilla responded to the unique landscapes of the Georgia coast in a series of remarkably fresh, deftly painted oil studies of the maritime forests, marshes and beaches near Savannah. Painted on Tybee island’s North Beach this image is one of two works by Welch showing commercial ships entering the mouth of the Savannah River. In one work, a sailing vessel is shown on the horizon, while in the example here, a steamer is shown entering the Savannah shipping channel from the Atlantic.
