About this work

This sketch shows a tall lighthouse on a rocky shore, with a long pier stretching out to the water. A few small boats are tied up near the shore, and a handful of people walk along the pier. The buildings behind the lighthouse look old and crumbling, with uneven walls and rooftops. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the scene, focusing on shapes and shadows rather than details. The lighthouse stands out as the brightest spot, drawing your eye. Look up *Muirhead Bone* to see more of his travel sketches.
