People Watching an Aeroplane Fly Over the Beach

People Watching an Aeroplane Fly Over the Beach

People have gathered on the beach to watch an aeroplane flying overhead. The aircraft appears to be a Curtiss Pusher. There are a few early automobiles parked on the white sand beach. Most of the spectators are dressed in dark clothing, with one couple wearing white. One of the people dressed in white holds an umbrella, to provide shade from the sun. The aeroplane flies at low altitude. In the distance, small waves can be seen on the ocean. A peach hue to the clouds suggests that this illustration depicts an early morning scene.
