About this work

This image shows a group of women in long dresses and hats walking along a beach, with the wind blowing their clothing and hair. In the background, people are gathered on the shore, and there are boats in the water. The women seem to be struggling against the wind, and one of them is holding onto her hat. The scene is set against a backdrop of a beach with a few buildings and a flagpole flying a white flag.
