On the Whippingham Road, Isle of Wight

On the Whippingham Road, Isle of Wight is a drawing created between 1826 and 1830 by Thomas Hastings. It is housed at the Yale Center for British Art. The drawing measures 0.14 meters in width and 0.213 meters in height. The artwork depicts a lightly sketched scene of a road, possibly a country lane, with buildings on one side and trees dominating the middle ground and background. The style is loose and impressionistic, focusing on capturing the overall atmosphere and feel of the location rather than precise detail. The lines are delicate and suggestive, creating a sense of depth and perspective.
