Boudin started off painting seascapes, but he found a niche in the 1860s producing small beach scenes. These showed well-to-do holidaymakers from Paris and further afield who arrived at the fast developing resorts of Trouville and Deauville to sample the health-giving benefits of seabathing and the vibrant social life. He produced a few hundred of these paintings, which have come to define his reputation, something he himself foresaw when he wrote: 'I shall do something else, but I shall always be a painter of beach scenes.’ This painting is typical of Boudin’s many sketches of beaches in showing groups of people ranged along the beach in a frieze-like composition, the whites, reds and blues of their costumes standing out against the silvery greys of the sea and sky.
