Coast Scenery is a 1850 by Augustus Wall Callcott, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet seaside scene with simple lines. Waves lap at the shore, and a few rocks sit near the water. In the distance, a small boat floats, and a lone figure stands on the beach, maybe watching the sea. The drawing uses light shading to suggest shapes, not much detail. It feels quick, like a first idea rather than a finished work. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
