En la arena de la playa, sobre tres soportes, una red puesta a secar es movida por el viento. Junto a la orilla, figura sentada. Mar de color gris y detrás, vegetación y una montaña. Cielo gris con nubes.

Galerie Georges Petit: nearly 500 works
A one-man show at the Galeries Georges Petit in Paris — figures, landscapes, portraits, early works and recent sun-drenched beaches — eclipsed all his earlier successes. His productivity amazed critics, the show was a financial triumph, and it brought him the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honour.
