label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing the steep cliffs and rugged northern coastline of Grand Manan Island in Canada, near Long's Eddy. In the immediate foreground, a tidal pool fills a declivity on the beach, which is otherwise strewn with stones and driftwood. Together with a few rocks, a large, knobby piece of driftwood is visible in the immediate foreground at lower center. Stretching horizontally across the middle distance, the beach extends out of frame at right and is bounded at left by steep embankment heavily wooded with conifer trees. Along this embankment at center left, a log cabin is visible--presumably the abode of the titular "William Cronk." Behind the cabin, a road ascends the embankement and curves to the left. In the background at center and center right, three succeeding ridges of immense coastal cliffs recede into the distance while wispy clouds hang above, rendered in white gouache. Indian Encampment Beach, now known as Indian Beach, is included in the background at right.
