Cliffs near Dieppe is a 1862 oil by Adolphe-Félix Cals, a Realism work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a rugged cliffside near the sea. The cliff is white and rocky, with a few brown patches on top. In the foreground, there's a sandy beach with some rocks scattered about. The sea is rough, with white waves crashing against the shore. The sky above is a soft blue, with some wispy clouds. The overall mood of the painting is calm and serene, despite the rough sea. The artist has used gentle brushstrokes to capture the texture of the cliff and the sand.
