The Pier: A Grey Note, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
It is thinly painted on an unprimed dark orangey-red panel. The yellowish tone of the wood shines through the muted colours, the grey sky and darker grey beach, and the greenish sea. The long horizontal brushstrokes on the sea, and the shorter, wavy strokes of white paint on the breakers are painted with a round-ended brush, 3mm wide; the details of the figure and the pier were defined with a very fine pointed brush.
