They Have Left!
Imagine the anxiety of watching loved ones sail away into the unknown—that's the drama captured here. Two women are perched on a cliff edge, battling a fierce wind that whips the standing woman's blue scarf into a frenzy. She's peering through a spyglass while her friend in the red dress waves a handkerchief, saying goodbye to figures heading out to sea. The title 'Ils Sont Partis!' (They Have Left!) adds a layer of poignant finality to the scene. Hermans uses loose, sweeping brushstrokes to make you almost feel the salt spray and the urgency of the moment.
