This Antoni Puig Martí work captures a serene moment of coastal life. In the foreground, a light-green-hulled fishing boat rests beached on the shore, surrounded by lines, baskets and gear, while a fisherman appears to attend to his nets. To the right, two figures —one of them wearing a striking red skirt— stroll along the shore, adding life and movement to the scene.

In the background, a large rocky islet in ochre, violet and gold tones rises from the sea and becomes the most recognizable element of the composition. The sea, resolved in whites, blues and greens, breaks into gentle waves on the sand, and its horizon fades away in the distance with a great sense of spaciousness.

The sky occupies much of the canvas and is full of white and gray clouds that move with the wind, with a few seagulls gliding over the scene. The light is clear and Mediterranean, enveloping the landscape in a fresh and tranquil atmosphere.

The artist’s technique combines a loose, impasto brushwork in the foreground, sometimes applied with a spatula, with a lighter, more fluid treatment in the sea and sky. The details allow the richness of the material and the confidence of the stroke to be appreciated. The signature "Puig Martí" appears in the bottom right corner.

The work is presented in an elegant dark wood frame with a natural linen fillet and a gold edge, which enhances the colors of the painting. It is an ideal piece for lovers of Catalan marine painting and Costa Brava landscapes, perfect for bringing light and freshness to any room."} } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } }
