For those of you with low vision:
This image depicts, two women wearing sunhats wading in the sea as a billowing wave crashes against their backs. One woman whisks her arms into the air, while the other tucks them across her chest. The bright white foam of the surf leads the way into the composition. Embedded on the upper portion of the painting, reminiscent to a film strip, are close-up images of the characters, while their faces are never in full view, their hats become a focal point.
