This sketch shows a quiet coastal scene with a crumbling stone wall in the foreground. Behind it, a cluster of old buildings and ruins sit on a hill, fading into the distance. The water below is calm, with a few rocks jutted out near the shore. The artist used soft, blended colors to show light and shadow without harsh lines. This style makes the scene feel peaceful and slightly dreamy. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
