A horizontally oriented watercolor and gouache drawing depicts a beach landscape beneath a brooding sky. Dark gray clouds transition into vibrant streaks of orange and yellow at the horizon. Tiny figures dot the shoreline, while a person in white is reflected in a shallow foreground pool. To the right, four sailing ships rest on a deep blue sea. Fluid washes capture the atmospheric light of the setting sun.
