Mount's Bay : Early Morning-Summer

Henry Moore 1831 - 1895

Summary

Marine picture offering a view of a choppy sea at Mount's Bay in Cornwall on an early summer morning, with distant hills and cliffs on the horizon, against a bright clouded sky. Towards the right of the picture, on the horizon line, are distant sails of ships. The paint work has impasto detail which emphasises the texture of the vibrant blue sea.
