Expressive pencil and charcoal landscape drawing executed in the style of American modernist William Zorach. The composition depicts a dramatic rocky shoreline overlooking calm waters, with layered stone formations leading the viewer’s eye toward a distant horizon and rising sun. The artist employs energetic line work and soft tonal shading to suggest the rugged textures of the coastal terrain and the atmospheric depth of the scene.

The drawing reflects stylistic elements associated with Zorach’s landscape studies, particularly his interest in natural forms and his use of confident, gestural draftsmanship to capture the structure of the landscape. Works of this character evoke the early modernist approach to nature studies seen in American art during the early twentieth century.

The artwork is signed lower right and presented under mat in a modern frame.
