Située sur la Côte d'Azur entre Nice et Monte-Carlo, la baie d'Eze est réputée pour sa situation et ses vues spectaculaires. Comme vous pouvez le voir aux pages 80-81 du livre de Rafferty, cette peinture capture habilement les hauteurs vertigineuses, situées juste à l'ouest de Lou Sueil, la maison de Jacques et Consuelo Balsan, amis proches de Winston et Clementine.

La peinture manipule la perspective et la profondeur, un clin d'œil aux changements dramatiques des artistes, y compris Monet et Cézanne, qui ont remis en question les points de vue traditionnels des paysages. L'orientation portrait (c'est-à-dire verticale) de la toile, combinée aux arbres et à la ligne de côte rythmée, canalise le regard du spectateur. L'inclinaison perçue du plan d'eau imprègne le tableau d'une tension dynamique.
