This painting is oil on canvas.  It measures 9 1/2 inches by 30 1/8 inches.  It is signed and dated 1925.  Gégoux left Oregon for California in early 1925.  It is believed that most of his work in 1925 was done after he moved.  During this time Gegoux lived at 349 S. Avenue 52 in Highland Park, California.  Gegoux's personal letters state that he went to the beach to make sketches and then painted them at his home.
