Drown'd

Elizabeth Howitt, after Thomas Rowlandson

National Gallery of Art

Several people are shown on a sandy beach. One person is lying on their back in a blue jacket, red trousers, and a white shirt. Three other figures are crouched or kneeling on the sand. One person has light-colored curly hair and wears a yellow dress, another has short orange hair and wears a brown outfit, and the third person has curly hair tied back, wearing a blue top and white undergarments. Behind them, a figure in a pink dress is partially obscured. A wooden boat and a large dark rock formation are seen on the sand. In the background, the sea with small waves and a light blue sky complete the coastal scene.
