The Smuggler's Landing Place is a 1883 by James Craig Nicoll, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a small boat in choppy water near a rocky shore. The waves crash against the rocks, and the sky looks stormy with thick clouds. On the right, a figure crouches near the water’s edge, maybe watching the boat. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement in the water and wind in the clouds. This style was common in late 1800s American art. Look up Realism next to see how artists captured everyday scenes like this one.
