Tail Piece for Chapter XII from "Lorna Doone" is a 1889 by William Henry Drake, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a rocky, uneven landscape with a few large boulders in the foreground. The lines are rough and scratchy, giving the scene a wild, untamed look. The sky above is just a few quick strokes, leaving most of the focus on the ground below. The artist used loose, fast marks to suggest texture—almost like they were drawing outside in a hurry. This style fits with how some artists worked in the late 1800s. Check out Realism next to see more work like this.
