A dramatic evocation of the coast at San Sebastian in northern Spain. Monte Urgull rises up in the centre of the painting with the buildings of the Castillo de Santa Cruz de la Mota shown on the sides and summit. In the background lie the mountains of the coastal range, higher on the right. The bay fronting the town is shown on the right with a long sandy foreshore leading towards its outlying buildings partly visible in the distance. The centre of San Sebastian, round the small harbour and old walled town, are not shown since they are hidden beyond the right flank of Monte Urgull. In the foreground a fishing boat is beached in front of a small outcrop of rock and a number of men and women are engaged in various fishing transactions. In the foreground on the right are wooden rollers for beaching and launching boats, and an anchor, from which a rope trails across the beach.
