About the piece
Painted around 1830 by British artist David Cox, this work exemplifies the luminous atmospheric quality of English watercolor. It depicts a procession of figures and a stagecoach navigating the hazardous but beautiful Crossing of Lancaster Sands at low tide, rendered with a masterfully soft palette and an expansive sense of light and space characteristic of the Yale Center for British Art collection.
