This watercolor shows a busy seaside town with a wide beach and cliffs in the background. People walk along the shore, some sitting on the sand while others stroll near the water. Small boats float near the shore, and buildings line the coast, with a few hills rising behind them. The artist used soft, light colors to keep the scene airy and calm. The brushstrokes are loose, giving it a quick, sketchy feel. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
