Hohensteins design for a motorboat exhibition and race is simple but spectacular: from aboard a boat, looking across the bows of a smart helmswoman, we see the waters off Monaco teeming with craft and sparkling in the sun. The artist reuses his trademark method for balancing the visual interest of a distant background versus a large foreground figure: he allots most of the color to the former, and renders the latter in a few sparse lines and the brown of the paper.
