This sketch shows dry, layered cliffs in the foreground with jagged mountains rising behind them. The colors are soft—light blues, yellows, and grays—like a faded photograph. The sky is pale with a few loose cloud strokes. The artist scribbled the date "March 6, 1871" in the corner, hinting this was a quick study, not a polished work. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s sketches.
