Pintado desde una posición inusualmente elevada, "Escena de la costa de la Riviera" transmite vívidamente la formidable distancia y amplitud de la escena desde la percha donde colocó su caballete. Curiosamente, Paul Rafferty no incluyó este cuadro en su libro Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera, creyendo que podría tratarse de una escena de la región de los lagos italianos, donde Churchill también pintó en la misma época.

Los cuadros de Churchill pueden servir para echar un vistazo a sus extensos viajes y a su colorida vida. Lo más probable es que Churchill pintara "Escena de la costa Riviera" durante unas vacaciones en Chateau de l'Horizon, casa de Maxine Elliot, amiga de su madre. Elliot, originaria de Rockland, Maine, era una actriz de éxito y de la alta sociedad.

En este cuadro se aprecia la influencia de los impresionistas, que utilizaban puntos de vista inusuales, inspirados en las xilografías japonesas, pero también sus intentos de ampliar los límites del género paisajístico.
