Breiwick Bay lies just to the south of Lerwick, between the Knab to the East and the Ness of Sound to the west.  It is exposed to the south and south-east, and this painting is of a gale from that direction.  The island of Bressay can be seen to the left.

The painting is 24 x 18 inches, is in oils on hardboard, and the buyer was from Lerwick.
