UV light reveals some possible very minor retouching to the waves, and certain pigments in the foreground and the sky fluoresce. Held in a black painted wooden frame. Unexamined out of frame.

Catalogue Note
Pokhitonov’s beach scenes at La Panne are among his loveliest works and include studies of the dunes, approaching storms, the sandbanks at dawn and at dusk. The interchange of blues, greens and purples that thread the line of the horizon and the near tropical turquoise of the North sea at midday make the present oil a particularly attractive depiction of light moving across a seascape.
