About this work
Landscape and seascape sketch showing a view of the cliffs and rocky prominences of the coastline near the city of St. John's in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. A sketch showing a wide view of the nearby undulating and rocky terrain stretches across the composition at center. At right, steep cliffs descend into the ocean water while a distant horizon is visible above. At lower center, a separate, vignetted view of the steep and curving coastline is included.
