Painting of a choppy blue-green sea with white foam, a dark sailboat at left, and distant white sails under a cloudy sky.

Seascape near Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

A painting of rolling blue-green sea under a sky of soft white clouds. A small dark-hulled sailboat with a bright sail rides the waves at left, with two distant white sails near the horizon. Thick, visible brushstrokes build the foam and water, and a signature appears in the lower left corner.
