Bernard Buffet created this preparatory gouache for the color lithograph for the album "Saint-Tropez", featuring text by his wife Annabel, calligraphed by Bernard Buffet and published in 1979. The book is illustrated with 23 color lithographs, including 11 double plates. As with the majority of his compositions, the network of crosshatching reinforces the contours by emphasizing the shapes of his subjects.
