Painting of beached fishing boats with red, blue and green hulls on a sandy shore, with sailboats and foamy waves on the sea beyond.

Fishing Boats on the Beach at Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

Several fishing boats rest on a sandy beach in the foreground, their red, blue and green hulls and tall yellow masts set against a pale sky. Beyond them, small sailboats with white sails drift on a choppy blue sea, and foamy waves roll onto the shore in thick, rhythmic brushstrokes.

Español: Barcas de pesca en la playa de Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

Varias barcas de pesca descansan sobre una playa arenosa en primer plano, con cascos rojos, azules y verdes y mástiles amarillos altos contra un cielo pálido. Más allá, pequeños veleros de velas blancas se deslizan sobre un mar azul agitado, y olas espumosas llegan a la orilla en pinceladas gruesas y rítmicas.
