A lively sketch of waves breaking on the shore on the Cornish coast. Everett has applied a thick impasto paint to show the white crests of the waves. The sea is shown deep green and the sky is arranged in horizontal stripes from pink, through orange to yellow and mauve. The colours and method of painting the waves hint at the chaos of the action of a wave breaking. The artist was concerned to create a sequential series of these paintings to capture the effect of waves breaking. At the end of the First World War Everett travelled to Helston in Cornwall on 28 January 1919. He then moved to Porthleven before renting a studio at Sennen Cove, selecting it for its good view of the sea. He stayed there until 11 May 1919. The painting is inscribed 'Porth' verso.
