Object Detail

Description
A pastel drawing of two figures; a woman and boy. Both are standing in profile facing the left at the edge of the cliff. The boy is holding a telescope; the woman is shading her eyes. There is an exposed white cliff face in the background with a flock of birds flying in the vicinity and a cloudy sky. The boy's hair and the woman's scarf are askance suggesting a strong wind is blowing.
