Description
The painting depicts a rocky coastline dotted with color. The horizon is high in the scene, and a strip of pale-yellow sky is visible at the very top of the painting. Along the rocky coast in the distance, the colorful land meets vivid turquoise and green ocean waters, with white lines indicating small waves. A red-striped umbrella in the top left corner appears to shelter a person in a long white dress; the umbrella obscures their face. The rocks have been painted with thick dots of black, white, yellow, orange, red, and green. The brushstrokes are expressive and the paint has been thickly applied in dots and dashes.
