Cotton-white and slate-gray clouds drift and churn across a pale blue sky over a grassy hill that slopes to the edge of a placid body of water in this horizontal painting on paper. The horizon comes about a fifth of the way up the composition, and the scene is loosely painted so many of the brushstrokes are visible. Closest to us, two people with peach-colored skin are on a beach piled with smoke-gray and caramel-brown boulders. Both people wear dark vests over long-sleeved, white shirts and knee-length white pants. They are loosely painted so it is difficult to tell if they wear dark caps…
