Description

A pebbly shore curves across the foreground, with small waves breaking on the beach and a stone edge running along the left. Beyond a low stone wall, a cluster of white buildings, trees and palms sits at the water's edge, with a rounded hill rising behind. A small boat floats on the calm sea near the horizon at right.

A pebble beach curves along the foreground, with small waves breaking onto it and open sea stretching to the right. Low buildings, two palm trees and a cluster of trees stand behind a low wall on the shore, with a rounded hill rising behind them. A small boat sits on the water near the right edge, and a stone edging runs along the left foreground.
