# La plage de Méricourt, baignade

By [Maximilien Luce](<https://art.jpamorgan.com/artists/maximilien-luce.md>), 1917.

Bathers gather along the Seine at Méricourt in a bright scene of collective leisure. Painted during the same year as Luce's somber Gare de l'Est pictures, it offers a striking civilian counterpoint.
