- The viewpoint is comparable to another one in the series (see 1936,0704.33); most of the sheet, which is on thicker paper than usual, is taken up by the sky. There is a strong contrast between the deep shadows on the cliff and the sunny and bright sand, where a few figures are represented.
This watercolour is one from a group of 46 watercolours from the collection of the Earl of Warwick: for information on the whole group, see 1936,0704.6 and 1936,0704.29
