Cormorant Cliff, Jamestown, Rhode Island

William Trost Richards

Cleveland Museum of Art

A rocky cliffside stretches from the bottom-right corner to the center-left with large and small jagged brown rocks, and a steep drop to the dark blue sea on the left; waves crash into the rocks on the left edge. Several white sea birds fly over the water on the left and sit on the rocks on the right. The sky above, taking up about one-third of the image, has a lighter band of gray in the center with darker grays on either side, with no visible sun or blue.
