A View of the Cliffs, Etretat is a 1881 oil by Nathaniel Hone the Younger, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a serene coastal scene. In the foreground, a few people are gathered near the water's edge, with a boat pulled up onto the shore. The cliffs in the background are a warm, golden color, with a grassy top and a steep drop to the sea below. The artist has used a range of earthy tones to capture the natural beauty of the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting's use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the scene.
