Coast Scene is a 1850 by William Collins, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a seaside scene with a cliff, sand, and a body of water. The cliff is dark and has some green on it, while the sand is light-colored. The water is also light-colored and has some darker areas. The painting is done in a style that makes it look like a drawing, with lots of lines and shading. It's not very colorful, but it still looks interesting. If you want to learn more about this kind of art, you could look up the technique of cross-hatching.
A drawing titled *Coast Scene* by William Collins, likely depicting a view of Aberystwyth, shows the coastline as seen from the beach below Constitution Hill, looking south.
