About this work

This black-and-white print shows a lighthouse on rocky ground, with waves crashing around it. A ship with two tall masts sails toward the lighthouse, smoke rising from its stack. The sky is dark and stormy, making the scene feel dramatic. The title at the bottom says it’s the Cleveland Lighthouse on Lake Erie. The artist used shading to make the waves and clouds look rough and real. Look up *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see this print in person.
