Frederick George Cotman's "Sunset, St Ives, Cornwall" (1915) captures the tranquil beauty of a late afternoon on the Cornish coast. The painting utilizes muted tones and hazy brushstrokes to depict a vast, tranquil landscape. The sky is a soft blend of pastel hues, while the distant horizon and a lone figure in the foreground are rendered in subtle detail. The artist's atmospheric depiction invites viewers to contemplate the serene stillness of the natural world.
