Rowlandson's Sketches from Nature: West Loo, Cornwall

Thomas Rowlandson

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape scene with a white house on a cliffside, situated on the left side. Two small, white buildings with yellow roofs and a chimney are visible. A dirt road leads to the house, passing through a short, stone bridge with three arches. In the foreground, several small boats are scattered on the sandy beach, with people standing near them. A large tree-covered hill rises on the left. The background features a body of water with a ship visible on the horizon. The sky is cloudy and overcast. At the bottom of the image, a handwritten inscription reads "West Loo, Cornwall".
