Cliffs on the north coast of the English county of Devon sweep away to the west. Sandbanks in the middle distance mark the outflow of the river Lyn into the Bristol Channel, while the misty green hills of Exmoor roll away beyond. The artist’s scraping creates lines of breaking surf, and the scale of the watery expanse is emphasized by a tiny steamboat threatened by dark curtains of rain. At the horizon, the sun breaks through clouds to cast pink reflections across the sea.
Poynter, a leading academic painter known for realistic evocations of ancient Rome and Biblical subjects, practiced watercolor mostly for his own pleasure. He made this work the year of his marriage, and it was bought by his brother-in-law Alfred Baldwin, who lent it to important exhibitions at Vienna (1873), The Grosvenor Gallery (1877), and The Fine Art Society (1903).
