Title and date supplied by artist at time of donation, 1979. Date given by artist at the time of donation was 1964. Both inscribed dates are difficult to decipher accurately. Lower Left 38 [1938] possibly the more accurate as it has been inscribed at the time of signing. Lower Right 1932 possibly added retrospectively.
This is a view over Plage des Graniers, 1km from the old town of St Tropez, France, across the Baie des Canebiers to the Cap St Pierre. Closely related to Greniar [Graniers], St Tropez, Southern France [BC024].
