Killarney is a 1850 by Edward William Cooke, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet, rocky landscape with rolling hills and a few scattered boulders in the foreground. The lines are light and sketchy, giving the scene a rough, unfinished look. There’s no water visible, just empty space where a lake might be. The artist used quick, simple strokes to suggest depth and texture in the rocks and hills. It feels like a quick note of what they saw, not a polished work. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
