This oil painting depicts a dynamic and expansive coastal scene. The composition is dominated by a dramatic, cloud-filled sky that suggests an approaching storm or a recent one. The clouds are rendered with thick, expressive brushstrokes in shades of grey, white, and ochre, creating a sense of movement and volume. Below the sky, the landscape unfolds with a sandy beach and a calm sea with gentle waves. The foreground features a rocky, rugged outcrop on the right, providing a textural contrast to the smooth sand. A low, grassy hill with a small track or path winds its way up its slope, separating the beach from the distant, hazy horizon. The color palette is earthy and subdued, with tones of brown, beige, grey, and green, highlighting the natural beauty and a somewhat melancholic atmosphere of the scene. The painting's style is characterized by its directness and naturalism, capturing a fleeting moment in nature with great authenticity.
