This painting shows a rocky coastline with a castle on a cliff. Two people on horseback sit in the foreground, wearing red coats and black hats. The sky is cloudy, and the cliffs are white and jagged, with a flagpole near the water. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture light and shadow. The watercolor looks sketchy, like it was painted outdoors fast. Next, check out George Bryant Campion, the artist who made this.
