This painting shows boats pulled up on a sandy beach, their sails folded. Behind them, a row of small houses clings to a steep cliff, overlooking a quiet sea. The sky is pale and hazy, blending into the water, while the buildings are rough and earthy in tone. Notice how the artist used soft, blended colors to make everything look misty—like a foggy day by the coast. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
