About MeThis finished watercolour again focuses on one of McBey's favourite Moroccan subjects - the local working people. There is however a lone European woman lying on the beach in the foreground. Tangier Port lies in the Straits of Gibralter - this view of Malabata beach shows Spain to the distant left and Morocco to the right.
