Two women in bathing suits sit on a set of beach steps, eating what appears to be fruit, a detail the gallery's apple filing suggests is central to the image. Beach outings of this kind were a growing pastime in the early twentieth century, when seaside resorts drew families and young people to the shore for leisure. Bathing costumes of that era were typically cut far more modestly than today's swimwear, so a casual snack on the steps would have looked like a relaxed, fashionable pause from the water. Pictures like this often served as cheerful images of summer rather than records of a specific event.
