This sketch shows a quiet beach with pebbles and sand, leading to tall grasses swaying near the water. In the distance, a lone stone tower stands on a grassy hill, with ruins scattered below it. The sky is pale and soft, blending into the distant hills. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture light and movement, especially in the grass and sky. The colors are muted, focusing on earthy tones and subtle blues. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this drawing in person.
