Brief Description

Coastal scene with towering yellow cliffs, boats on water, and a cloudy sky

Detailed Description

The artwork depicts a coastal landscape. The upper third of the composition features a sky filled with light blue, white, and yellow clouds. Below the sky, a series of tall cliffs extends across the width of the middle ground. These cliffs are rendered in shades of light yellow, orange, and cream, with hints of pink and green, particularly on their tops where patches of vegetation are visible. The largest cliff on the right is topped with a significant area of dark green foliage. At the base of this large cliff on the far right, a small collection of buildings with dark roofs and light walls stands, with a small pier or wall extending into the water. The lower half of the composition shows water, depicted with a mix of dark blue, light blue, green, and orange brushstrokes. Several boats are visible on the water; two larger sailboats with dark and orange-red sails are positioned in the left and center-right, while smaller boats are scattered closer to the shore.
