View from the Inn at Lynton

Thomas Rowlandson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an elevated view of a landscape with a coastline. The horizon is high in the image, with the sea meeting the sky. Cliffs are visible on the horizon. The painting has fine brushstrokes creating a soft and light scene. The color palette includes pastel tones like blues, greens, browns, and off-white. A road winds up a green slope past trees, houses, and a stone bridge. The road continues around a hill and disappears into the distance. A sailboat is seen in the water.
