The work belongs to the tradition of Mediterranean landscape painting with Impressionist roots, with a particular focus on light and atmospheric effects. The composition is organized into broad horizontal bands of sky, water, and landscape, while small figures of bathers introduce scale and liveliness in the foreground.

The loose brushwork and light palette, dominated by blues, greens, and earthy tones, allow the landscape to be constructed through chromatic impressions rather than through meticulous description. The treatment of light and the expansiveness of the horizon lend the scene a serene and open character, typical of the landscape painting that developed in Spain during the early decades of the 20th century.
