Landscape with Tower at Seashore

About this work

This sketch shows a rocky shore with a tall, crumbling tower standing near the water. Small boats float in the foreground, some anchored, others drifting. A few people stand near the shore, looking out toward the sea. The background has a distant town and hills, all drawn in soft, earthy browns. The tower looks old and weathered, almost like ruins. The artist used quick, light strokes to show the texture of the rocks and waves. Look up Baroque to see how this sketch fits into that movement’s style.
