The work depicts a coastal landscape, with the sea as the focal point and a composition based on the horizontal lines created by the waves, softened by the diagonal line of the hill on the right and the presence of the sailboat. The noticeable brushstrokes and the absence of underdrawing reveal a clear influence from certain avant-garde painting movements that emerged in France in the late 19th century, particularly Impressionism. This connection is also evident in the shadows and the chosen color palette.
