This painting represents a seascape with two waves rolling into shore breaking at the right of the composition. They break onto a rocky coastline that begins in lower center of the painting and extends up the left side of the painting. The rocks become a natural jetty that curves out to sea from the center left edge of the painting. One sailboat is close to shore and clearly identifiable, while a number of sailboats can be seen on the distant horizon.
This painting represents a view of a valley. Rocky, treeless mountains rise to the left and right size of the canvas, with sandy, yellow-brown ground, trees, and shrubs in the foreground. The purple and gray mountains are shrouded in mist and recede into the background.
