On Coast of Sussex

Thomas Rowlandson British

Not on view

In a style reminiscent of John Hamilton Mortimer, Rowlandson here describes a windblown coastal landscape with two fishermen men on a small beach pulling up their rowboat, and a third carrying a pair of oars up the beach. Behind and at right is a cluster of thatched cottages, and a woman standing next to a tree looking across the water. Slightly off shore a sailboat is tossed by waves. In the distance at left, low hills are shown along the coast.
