About the painting
Museum text in Spanish
Sobre la arena de la playa se proyecta la sombra de una barca, esencialmente de su vela desplegada en sentido izquierda-derecha. Más al fondo, otra barca expande su sombra en sentido contrario. En la orilla del mar dos figuras blancas, sentadas, y una de rojo, de pie. Cielo verdoso con nubes blanco-violáceas.
