Sea Coast Scene c. 19th century

"Sea Coast Scene" is an anonymous 19th-century drawing depicting a coastal scene. The drawing is rendered in a delicate, almost minimalist style with a focus on the natural world. The artist uses subtle shading to depict the rocky coastline and the choppy sea, and minimal lines to suggest clouds. The overall effect is serene and peaceful. The small size of this pencil sketch is consistent with the style of a plein air study. This type of artwork can provide insight into the process of landscape art creation.
