"Martello Tower at St. Leonards against setting sun" is a watercolor painting by an anonymous artist, created between 1835 and 1864. The painting depicts a Martello tower on the coast of England, with the setting sun casting a warm glow over the scene. The tower, a type of defensive structure, is surrounded by a vast, empty beach, emphasizing the solitude and isolation of the location. This work is a fine example of British landscape painting, a genre popular in the 19th century, and can be found at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
