About this work

This landscape drawing shows a rocky cliffside with a cave. The cliff is covered in trees and bushes, and the cave is dark and mysterious. The artist used cross-hatching to create depth and texture in the drawing. This technique gives the cliff and trees a rough, rugged look. The drawing is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
