A View of the Cliffs, Etretat

A View of the Cliffs, Etretat is a painting by Nathaniel Hone the Younger. The artwork depicts a beach scene with several fishing boats pulled ashore near high, light-colored cliffs. The boats have dark hulls and light sails. Figures, appearing to be fishermen and possibly their families, are scattered on the beach near the boats, some appearing to be mending nets or resting. The cliffs are covered with green vegetation on top. The sky is a muted light color, suggesting a calm, possibly overcast day. The overall style is realistic, with visible brushstrokes giving texture to the scene. The painting's dimensions are 0.92 meters wide and 0.61 meters high. It is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland. The date of the artwork is not specified.
