A seashore on a grey squally day with peasants bargaining over fish in the foreground, more fisherfolk and a number of boats behind. Possibly the panel referred to in the 1764 inventory callled ' A Dutch Piece Scheveling Pinx. in the seconm room . This may also be a reference to the possibility it is Scheveningen beach. Not originally in Cabinet or Drawing Room, hence the black slip needed to fit it into the frame, which does belong in these rooms.
