Coast scene near Hastings is a 1812 unspecified by David Cox, a British Romanticism work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
The painting depicts a serene coastal scene, with a small boat floating on the water. The shore is lined with buildings, and people are gathered near the water's edge. The sky above is cloudy, adding to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. Upon closer inspection, the brushstrokes used to create the painting are visible, giving the artwork a textured appearance. The artist's use of color is muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. This choice of color adds to the overall sense of calmness in the scene.
