This painting shows a quiet beach scene with a lone person standing near the water’s edge. The shore is sandy, with patches of green plants and a few bushes. In the background, there’s a calm body of water, some boats, and distant mountains under a pale sky. The person is dressed simply, holding a long stick, while the landscape looks peaceful but a little empty. The artist signed it as *Port of Berberah, Coast of Africa near the Red Sea*.
