This etching depicts three men standing on a beach, with one man pointing out to sea. The man on the left is dressed in dark clothing and a hat, while the man on the right is shirtless and wearing a long robe. The third man stands between them, also dressed in dark clothing. The scene is set against a calm sea and sky, with the men standing on a rocky shoreline. The artist's use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The etching is a beautiful example of Steinlen's work, and it can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
