Raoul Dufy's paintings of racecourses, concerts and holidays by the sea brilliantly capture the glamour of the Jazz Age. With just a few jaunty lines and some strong splashes of colour he suggests the exhilaration of these elegant visitors as they take a bracing walk on this sunny but chilly and windy day. While the sketch-like quality of this painting might suggest Dufy made it in just a few minutes, nothing could be further from the truth. He would go out and sketch a scene and then, in the quiet of his studio, use his drawings to work on the painting. His real challenge was to keep the immediacy, spontaneity and movement of his sketches in the finished piece.
