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.

Español: Marina cerca de Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

Una pintura de un mar azul verdoso con olas que se levantan bajo un cielo de nubes blancas suaves. Un pequeño velero de casco oscuro y vela clara navega a la izquierda, y dos velas blancas lejanas aparecen cerca del horizonte. Las pinceladas gruesas y visibles construyen la espuma y el agua, y una firma aparece en la esquina inferior izquierda.
