A Squally Day is a 1879 watercolor by Henry Moore, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a small boat rocking on choppy water, with one person inside. The sky is heavy with clouds, and the waves are rough and white-capped. In the distance, there’s a rocky shore and another tiny boat sailing. The brushstrokes are quick and loose, making the water and sky feel alive. This style is typical of artists who wanted to capture light and movement, not just details. If you like this, check out Impressionism next.
A watercolour by Henry Moore depicts a solitary figure seated in a boat on choppy waters, with a distant shoreline visible in the background.
