Stranded is a 1875 charcoal by William Morris Hunt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This charcoal drawing shows a landscape with a sailboat stranded on a rocky beach. The boat is tilted to one side, and its sails are down. In the background, there are hills and trees under a cloudy sky. The drawing is done in dark charcoal, with some lighter areas where the paper shows through. The artist has used quick, expressive strokes to capture the texture of the rocks and the roughness of the sea. The drawing has a sense of movement and energy, as if the wind is still blowing and the waves are still crashing against the shore. If you like this kind of landscape, you might want to check out more works by the Impressionism movement.
