Just over half of the picture is given over to the dramatic sky. The lurid sunset is about to die in the West and then there appears suddenly the thrilling sight of the pink ship catching the final rays, moving in front of the dark threatening clouds! Powerful stuff in a small painting.

See Evening Lepe (1971).
