(b) A young man in bathers is sitting cross-legged at the water's edge with his hands clasped in front of his knees. In the background is a bay with a yacht, and the distant shore. (c ) The young man is standing on the beach. The 'singlet' top of his dark bathers is bordered with three stripes and forms a 'skirt' over the trunks which end midway down his thighs. The two women stand either side of him with linked arms. The one on the left is wearing a light skirt and overblouse with dark tie and the fly net on her light sunhat is thrown back: the one on the right is wearing a floral pinafore dress over a light blouse and may have a fly net tucked into her hat. Both are wearing light stockings and shoes.
