Composition in gray tones (predominant), ochre, green, white, earthy, blue and red. Smooth and thick texture and marked brushstrokes. Composition representing lanscape of Leme beach in broad daylight, but the gray sky. In the first and second planes, sand track, looking to the right, dark cylindrical perhaps suggesting a wastebasket. Further down, the center of the white flag Rescue Service with a red cross in the center that determines calm sea; the on the right of the flag, double suggestion, seeing the woman wearing blue dress of wide skirt. Next the couple small dabs dark ochre could suggest birds. In the third plan, surf line of the waves looking up, on the right, one of them with foam breaking ahead. At the bottom, continuing with the sea horizon line marked and, looking to the right, two islands, one of which is cut by the on the right side edge of the support. Heaven in gray tone with white clouds, watching the sea in tone and darker.
