“The Bathing Place” Below Villa Les Rochers 2017

A colour photo of a beach scene, though no water is visible: to the left is a rocky escarpment studded with spruce and pine trees, at the centre, are large squarish boulders that appear to have been deposited by glacial action. To the front and right, flat sand with dried deposits of seaweed, sticks and shells that would suggest that the setting is tidal. Bright sky above.

A walk along the shoreline below Villa Les Rochers today can reveal some of the places Lady Agnes Macdonald liked to paint. “The Bathing Place” is one such location, little changed in a century and a half.
