A beach is in the foreground with a bay beyond. To the far left a man carries a net over his right shoulder. A dog in the centre foreground, standing next to an anchor, looks out to sea and there are several groups of figures seated and standing to the right of the picture, on the foreshore. There are a couple of large fishing boats on the beach. In the distance to the far right are some low cliffs with the roofs of a village and the spire of a church just visible, together with a square tower further to the right. A man on horseback with a dog stands in front of a coastal craft ashore in the shallows. Several other boats can be seen in the bay. Most of the artist's extant paintings date from the last six years of his career and are principally marine subject matter.
