Rowlandson's Sketches from Nature: Fowey, Cornwall

Thomas Rowlandson

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a river scene with several boats and a large ship. The river is gray with darker areas suggesting shadows or depth. There are green hills on the left side with trees and a white building on top. The sky is cloudy and gray. In the foreground on the left is a small wooden boat with a covered barrel and two people. To the right are two smaller boats with people. In the middle of the river is a large ship with white sails and a gold-colored hull. The ship is pointed to the left. In the background on the right are more boats and a large structure on the shore. The words "Fowey, Cornwall" are written at the bottom. The image is framed by a thin black line and has a white border.
