Beautiful view of an Atlantic beach painted diagonally between the water front in the foreground where a woman and a child are walking, and a dark green ocean covered with waves under a cloudy sky. A few groups of bathers still occupy the beach despite the threatening weather.

The canvas is almost a combination of light strokes, from the white reflections on the clouds and the foam of the waves to the multiple yellow reflections of the beach sand or the water bottom in the foreground.

A large semi-spherical sand-coloured parasol provides the only geometrical touch in the painting.
