This was a favoured technique as it allowed him to depict the groups of people from above, separating them into individuals, and here we see figures fishing, paddling, sunbathing, sailing and picnicking. The scene glows with a soft summer light and the beach huts, sails, bell tent and house gables form a pattern which is enlivened by the diminutive figures scattered around.We are grateful to Philippa Bambach for her assistance in cataloguing this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
