The painting depicts a sun-drenched coastline scene near the village of Saint-Tropez, where Signac had a house and studio. It features a majestic, umbrella-shaped pine tree rendered using the pointillist technique, which involves applying small, distinct dots of pure colour that are intended to blend in the viewer's eye when observed from a distance. This meticulous application of colour creates a vibrant, shimmering effect of light across the pine needles, grasslands, and the sea.
