Behind her, another woman in a one-piece swimsuit, that is, at a glance, the same tone as her skin has her back to the camera. To her left a slim man with glasses, who some have called a nerd, is standing in profile. The image is sometimes titled "Sun bathers with gawker" 2. Two woman wearing swimsuits, shoulder-length hair concealing their faces, are standing in the gravelly shallows on the beach, testing the water with their feet or stepping gingerly into the waves.
