Description

A small open wooden boat with lettering on its hull sits in shallow water beside a sandy beach. Two people in hats sit in the boat, a man in a cap and dark jacket stands in it, and a man in a white shirt, wide hat and dark trousers wades ashore at right. A long bundle of reeds or poles lies across the boat, with a coiled rope on the sand and reed-covered dunes behind.

A small wooden boat with a long pole or oar lying across it sits in shallow water, with two people seated in its stern and a man in a cap and dark jacket standing amidships. A woman in a white blouse, wide hat and dark trousers steps out onto the sandy bank at right, where a coiled rope lies. Tall reeds line the flat shore in the background under a pale sky.
