1778
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
View near Ilfracombe is a 1778 watercolor by Francis Wheatley, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a rocky coastline with a small boat anchored near the shore. In the background, another sailboat floats farther out in the water. The cliffs are jagged and dark, while the sky is pale and cloudy. A few people stand on the shore, looking toward the boat. The artist used soft watercolor strokes to show light and shadow across the rocks. The colors are muted, with earthy browns and grays dominating the scene.
