About the piece
Dating to approximately 1840, this watercolor by J.M.W. Turner is a quintessential example of his late atmospheric style. The work depicts Yarmouth Sands in a state of flux, where land, sea, and sky dissolve into one another through fluid washes of color and light, highlighting a small vessel struggling against the surf as figures watch from the shore.
