About this work

This watercolor shows a rocky coastline where waves crash against jagged cliffs. The dark, rough rocks contrast with the lighter, choppy water. The sky is mostly hidden, but you can see some clouds near the top. The artist focused on how the water and rocks look in real life, not smoothed out. This style was common in the late 1800s.
