Eddystone Lighthouse is a 1840 by Mary Altha Nims, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a simple lighthouse standing on a small patch of land in the ocean. The lighthouse is made of blocks and has a small roof on top. In the background, a tiny sailboat floats on the water under a pale, cloudy sky. The artist wrote "Eddystone Lighthouse" at the bottom, so this is a real place. The drawing is very quiet and uses soft pencil strokes to keep things calm. If you like this, check out Romanticism to see how artists used nature and light in their work.
Mary Altha Nims (1817–1907) was an American artist.
