1810
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Kilgerran Castle, Pembrokeshire is a 1810 by John Sell Cotman, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a rocky coastline with a crumbling castle on a cliff. The water below is choppy, and the land is covered in jagged rocks and sparse trees. The artist used quick, dark lines to show texture, especially on the cliffs and waves. The drawing looks unfinished but captures how rough and wild the scene feels. Cotman often focused on nature’s raw power in his work. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
