Description

Four people tussle on a shore of rock and seaweed. On the left a shirtless young man in dark shorts grips an arm, a smiling person in a dark top leans in from the middle, a person lies on the ground with bare legs raised, and a woman in a dark swimsuit leans back on the right. Behind them a calm sea stretches to a low horizon.

Four people in swimwear sit and sprawl on a rocky shore covered with seaweed, grappling and laughing. A shirtless man at left holds another person's arm, while a dark-haired figure in a one-piece swimsuit at right leans back on one hand. The calm sea and a low horizon fill the background.
