Under Storm King, Cornwall, 1871 (from Sketchbook)

A two-page sketchbook spread in graphite. On the left, a steep rocky cliff drops toward water, with a small structure at its base. On the right, a broad mountain range rises above a calm lake, shaded with loose hatching and handwritten notes along the bottom edge.

Look closer: A small structure or boat sits near the water at the base of the left cliff.
