About this work
On the left a grassy rock cliff rises, and on the right a pale greenish sea spreads out. In the foreground is a pebble beach with a few small figures. Dark rocks run along the water's edge, and thin clouds drift across the sky. It is oil on canvas, measuring 65.0 x 81.0 cm.
According to the museum's commentary, Sisley spent several months in 1897 visiting southern England and South Wales, painting the coasts near Cardiff and Penarth. He is said to have returned in the autumn with about 25 paintings made on site, and this work is thought to have been among them. Langland Bay is a harbor in South Wales.
Sisley is said to have already been suffering from throat cancer by this time. Even so, he set down the water's edge and the rocks with calm brushwork. The museum wonders whether the figures in the foreground might be Sisley's family, but this is not known for certain.
