In this crowded beach scene, bathers lounge on a beach in the foreground while others splash in the ocean or climb a rocky hill that juts into the water. Deploying a rainbow palette and impasto brushstrokes, seen most vividly in the blue and green stripes of the churning waves, Prendergast engages recent European styles from impressionism to expressionism while celebrating the novelty of leisure time in early 20th-century America.
