In this painting, Cheung presents the lighthouse standing resilient and solitary against a dynamic sky. The lighthouse, painted in bright white, contrasts starkly with the tumultuous, swirling blues, grays, and hints of purple in the clouds above, suggesting a brewing storm or the clearing aftermath of one. This dramatic sky reflects Cheung's expressive use of color and brushwork, creating a sense of movement that seems almost alive.

The sea around the lighthouse is rendered with softer tones of blue and brown, suggesting the rocky shoals that make this lighthouse so essential for navigators. A couple of small sailing ships in the distance provide a sense of scale and life, adding to the narrative of the seascape as a place of beauty and danger.

Overall, this painting not only captures a historical structure but also embodies the ever-changing conditions at sea, portrayed through Cheung’s masterful and emotive painting style. The work is a tribute to the enduring symbol of guidance and safety that lighthouses represent to those at sea.
