label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of waves crashing into the rocky coastline of Grand Manan Island in Canada. In the foreground, the nearby rocky beach is visible at lower left and curves a rocky spit of land that extends into the water in the middle distance at left and center. At right, a crashing wave sends up white spray, articulated in white gouache. The breaking foam of the small waves at left is also rendered in detail with white gouache. In the background, hazy clouds hang just above the long, flat ocean horizon.
