Labrador Coast

William Bradford

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a rocky shoreline under a dark and cloudy sky. A large cloud dominates the right side of the image, with shades of white, gray, and blue. The sky above is dark gray. In the foreground, a man and a woman are standing on the rocky beach, accompanied by a dog on a leash. The man wears a white shirt, blue pants, and a hat, while the woman wears a red dress and a white head covering. In the background, several buildings are visible on the left side of the image, including a house with a brown roof and a boat next to it. A large rock formation separates the buildings from the water. The dark blue water has white waves crashing against the shore. A ship is visible in the distance on the right side, with hills behind it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and dramatic. Labrador Coast by William Bradford.
