Although once identified as a view of Penmaen Mawr on the Welsh coast, the location of this particular scene is less important than the effect of the sun rising through clouds over the reflective surface of the wet beach. This was very much the type of atmospheric effect that Cox had catalogued in his various illustrations to the Treatise (cat. 15). In about 1820 he would have been considering new examples, representing various times of day and effects of light, for his latest publication, The Young Artist’s Companion (cat. 26).
