Green trees and yellow bushes make up the border and foreground. Two people in long cloaks appear to be riding "penny farthings" (high wheel bicycles) and admiring the structure. To the right is a calm sea with a single boat, its sail set. The painting remains vivid, fine coloration, likely rendered in the 1910-1920 period.. Fifth Edition. Full Green Morocco.
