Soter Jaxa-Małachowski was a Polish marine painter, a renowned portraitist and master of urban landscapes, who studied in Krakow and Munich. He often traveled along the coast: the Baltic, Adriatic, and Mediterranean seas. And, of course, he worked productively there.
This image is a reproduction of a painting on a postcard that was included in the series of the same name, which was printed in 1927 in Krakow. The original was created with watercolor and gouache on cardboard, thanks to which the author managed to convey both the lightness of the waves and clouds, and the sufficiently detailed figures of people relaxing on the beach. And the color scheme creates a clear impression of a hot, relaxed day.
The work is one of 10 motifs created by the author on this topic, which were the most popular with the public.
