Summer's Ending
1939

A painting depicting a scene on a beach with dramatic cloud formations in the sky. In the foreground, a woman stands draped in an orange shawl, looking contemplatively to the side. Next to her, a man in a green jacket and striped pants kneels on the sand, shielding his eyes from the sun as he looks upward. Scattered on the ground are a broken bottle and a piece of cloth. In the background, a group of figures interacts near the water's edge. The overall mood is serene with a touch of melancholy.
