CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
A coastal scene depicts a sandy shore in the foreground, with some tidal pools and plants growing on the left. At the centre of the image, on the shore, is a grey boulder that is reflected in the rocky, tidal pool. Behind that is a large body of grey-blue water, with blue mountains on a very distant shore on the horizon. The sky is overcast with cloud.
