According to the Milton Avery Trust, the present work depicts the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts where Milton Avery spent his summers with his wife, Sally Michel, between 1920 and 1945. Beyond its longstanding repute as an artistic community, Gloucester also held sentimental significance for Avery as it was there where he first met Sally Michel in 1921.
