A heavy sky over a low skyline of palms and rooftops, with a sliver of sea visible between them.
Nine tenths sky. The skyline runs along the bottom eighth of the sheet and the palms break it at intervals; the cloud above is massed in ranks that darken toward the top edge.
Violet, periwinkle and lilac through the cloud, with white where the light breaks and a band of cerulean low down. The palms are green-black; the buildings mauve and cream.
Flat dabs laid in horizontal ranks with their edges showing, the darker violets scrubbed over the paler ground. The palms and buildings are quick single marks along the base.
Gouache on paper. Matte and opaque. Unpainted margins all round.
Along the lower edge, raypatrick, in orange over the rooftops, letters widely spaced.
