William Bradford, known for his depictions of the Arctic and maritime scenes, painted "Coast of Labrador" in 1871. The painting showcases Bradford's mastery of light and detail, capturing the serene beauty of the rugged Labrador coastline. The composition features a tranquil bay, framed by towering cliffs, with a single sailboat traversing the waters. The soft, muted hues of the sky and the reflective surface of the water evoke a sense of tranquility and solitude, highlighting Bradford's ability to convey the dramatic yet peaceful landscapes of the North.
