A red and white lighthouse is in the background of the painting, on a hill behind a cluster of trees. A curving bay is featured in the middle ground. A prominent, brightly colored yellow-ochre cliff or sand dune dominates the right side of the canvas. The foreground is characterized by large, dark blue and grey boulders and rocks. The work is rendered in bold, non-naturalistic colors with pronounced brushstrokes.
