About the piece

Painted by Thomas Fearnley around 1833, this oil on paper study captures the dramatic geology of a coastal cliff, likely on the island of Capri. The work showcases Fearnley's mastery of light and texture, with warm ochre rocks contrasting against the deep, reflective blues of the water and the soft, cloud-dappled sky.
