This drawing shows a stormy sea crashing against a rocky shore. The waves are thick and wild, breaking hard against jagged rocks. In the distance, a dark, misty coastline cuts across the scene. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement in the water. This style makes the waves look rough and real, not smooth. Look up Realism to see how this style changed how artists painted the world around them.
