On the Hill Side (Our English Coasts, 1852), from "The Art Journal" 1877

"On the Hill Side (Our English Coasts, 1852)", a 1877 wood engraving by William Holman Hunt, captures a serene landscape scene of sheep grazing on a hilltop overlooking the sea. This piece, part of a series showcasing English coastal life, exemplifies Hunt's Pre-Raphaelite style, known for its meticulous detail and realistic depictions of nature. The engraving's stark contrast between the bright sky and the shadowy foreground adds depth and drama to the composition, emphasizing the rugged beauty of the English coast. The work is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
