Description

A wide pebble beach runs along the bottom of the frame, with a calm sea stretching to a hazy horizon. Two men in light shirts and hats stand at the left edge, one holding a small object, while three figures wade in the shallow water to the right. Clothes, a hat and a few small boxes or containers lie scattered on the stones near the water's edge.
