Sea Pasture

Charles H. Woodbury

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a coastal scene from an elevated perspective. It depicts a body of water with a rugged shoreline in the distance. The horizon, rocky hills, cliffs, two boats on the water, and wave motion are all captured in intricate, swirling lines. The artwork is done using fine, controlled linework resembling an etching, in a monochromatic palette of black or dark sepia on a cream background.
