A horizontally oriented oil painting with thick, rectangular brushstrokes depicts a coastal scene. A multicolored band in the lower foreground contains blobs suggesting figures in white and pink garments with wide-brimmed hats. They gather along the shore overlooking turquoise water dotted with small white sailboats. A thin horizontal brown landmass divides the sea from a light blue sky filled with pale clouds. The loose, layered brushwork creates a shimmering, slightly blurry effect.
