The Cove
1916

Impressionist-style painting depicting a lively beach scene with numerous figures, possibly families, enjoying a sunny day. The brushwork is loose and colorful, with an emphasis on light and movement. The sea and a sailboat are visible in the background, adding to the leisurely coastal atmosphere.
