About this work

This painting shows a rocky cliff rising out of choppy water. The waves crash against jagged rocks below, and a few birds skim the surface. The sky is pale, almost blending with the muted greys and browns of the coastline. The artist used soft, blended colors to make the scene feel quiet and distant. The water looks rough but the brushstrokes keep it smooth. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
