Height, 7½ inches; length, 13½ inches
It is a breezy day at this famous Dutch watering place and fishing village, and a line of breakers tumbles on the shallow beach and dashes over the hulls of fishing vessels which, with partly lowered sails, are awaiting the fall of the tide. In the foreground on the left is a group of fisher folk, with ladies and gentlemen. Great sunlit cumuli drift across the sky, which is reflected here and there in the shallow pools in the sand.
Signed at the lower right, J. Maris.
