This oil on panel captures the melancholic atmosphere of a grey day on the Cantabrian coast. Using a cool colour palette, the work conveys the stillness of a landscape without marked light or shadow, highlighting the subtle textures of the surroundings. The lighthouse, located on the left side of the painting, acts as a reference point in this small scene. The simple and direct composition, together with the small size of the work suggests that it is more of a sketch than a finished painting, a kind of quick study that captures the essence of the landscape at a specific moment.
