Description: Set in the serene seascape of the South of France, this painting captures a quiet moment at a hidden yacht club café. Under the elegant shade of umbrellas that suggest both leisure and understated luxury, the artist is watching a group of children in the sea enjoying their sailing lesson. The vibrant boats flutter in the distance, hinting at joy and adventure. Yet despite the idyllic setting, the emptiness of the chairs and tables evokes a sense of solitude — a quiet reflection on the loneliness that can persist even in the midst of beauty and worldly pleasures.
