About this work

This drawing shows a rocky shoreline with a tall, dark building on a hill in the distance. The water is choppy, and the sky is gray. In the foreground, there’s a mix of jagged rocks and a few small boats. The artist called it *Under the Salle de Chevaliers, Mont St. Michel*, which is a real place in France. The way the light hits the rocks and water looks loose and sketchy. Look up Colonel Ben Hallewell next to see more of his work.
