Arcachon beach : in the perspective of a summer sun setting in the ocean, behind the Cap-Ferret peninsula, the artist paints an abundant panel of bathers – rather dressed – and striped tents in increasingly small shots.

In the foreground, facing us on the right, with his back to the sun, a man with a red beard is reading his newspaper in front of a parasol of the same orange colour and a shape symmetrical to his newspaper.

The palette is limited to warm, predominantly orange-yellow colours and cool, predominantly blue colours, in a soft, late afternoon tone. Reflections of the setting sun radiate on the sky, the sea and the sand of the beach in the foreground.

A painting of a happy humanity on a crowded beach, where everyone rubs shoulders while remaining in their own world, in osmosis with a sunset that hypnotizes towards the sea, instead of bathers, windsurfers and the striped beach tents typical of Arcachon.
