A landscape study in gouache on paper depicting Porth Lysgi Bay. The composition is executed in a modernist style with broad, opaque blocks of colour representing the coastal cliffs, green clifftops, and a rocky shoreline. In the lower right corner, the work bears a small black ink monogram of the characters ‘KK’. The painting is presented behind a white card mount in a dark-toned metal frame. The verso of the wooden backing board carries several inscriptions, including a handwritten title reading ‘GOUACHE POR_TH LYSGI BAY’ and a numerical value ‘£ 50’. A small white adhesive label is affixed to the lower centre of the backing board, reading ‘KEMPSHALL, FENWICK HOUSE, 135 LORDSWOOD ROAD, HARBORNE, BIRMINGHAM 17, B17 9BL’.
