"Yarmouth Sands, Norfolk" is a watercolor painting by English artist John Sell Cotman, created between 1820 and 1830. The painting depicts a scene on the beach at Yarmouth, Norfolk, featuring two figures pulling a boat ashore, with a net and oars lying nearby. The sky is dominated by large, billowing clouds, typical of Cotman's romantic style, and the painting captures a sense of the dramatic beauty of the English coast. Cotman was a prolific artist and a key figure in the Norwich School of painting, known for its focus on landscape and its romantic sensibilities.
