- Description
A family playing on a beach. Five children are making a sandcastle in the foreground, while their mother and a sixth child rest under a parasol to the right at the base of a hill. At the top of the hill, cannon are visible, along with a lighthouse, and a steamship and a yacht can be seen in the water in the background.
The scene has been previously identified as the Waitemata Harbour; however Ashton was an Australian artist so the area depicted could be Australian, or it could be an imaginary scene, relating to either Australia or New Zealand.
