Dent-de-lion, near Margate is a 1787 watercolor by Inigo, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a row of old houses with steep roofs and tall chimneys puffing smoke. The walls are a mix of white and dark brown, and the sky above is bright with fluffy clouds. Trees and bushes grow around the edges, and the ground looks rocky and uneven. The artist used soft, light colors to make the scene feel calm and peaceful. The smoke from the chimneys adds a little movement to the quiet houses. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
