Johan Barthold Jongkind

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a coastal landscape scene from a slightly elevated viewpoint, showing the seashore, the horizon, two sailboats, two windmills, a path parallel to the shore with buildings, and trees. The artwork has a sketch-like style with fine lines, portraying a monochromatic color palette dominated by shades of grey and black. Clouds are depicted in the sky.
