The composition brings together several sailing boats in ochre and pink hues, one of which proudly flies the French tricolor flag at the top of its mast. The restrained palette blends the blue-grays of the sky and water with the greens and beiges of the shoreline. The technique, combining watercolor and pencil strokes, conveys a light and controlled Impressionism, typical of the period.

The work is presented in an elegant giltwood frame, enhanced with a pink mat and an inner brass fillet—a period presentation, perfectly preserved.
