Ink and water colour sketch of a beach scene. In the foreground, a woman lies on her stomach reading, with her back to the viewer. She has dark skin and hair and wears an orange two-piece swimsuit. In the middleground and to the viewer’s right, two dogs play. The horizon line is punctuated by simply-rendered figures and umbrellas of orange, white and teal. There appears to be a wave or mountain on the far left horizon. The sky is coloured in a blue wash, which is more intense at the top, but thins out as it approaches the horizon line. The drawing is enclosed in a rectangular hand-drawn frame. In TL edge, there is an orange vertical mark, and a grey vertical mark.
