A mass of rock, with grass in the foreground, rises upwards against a stormy sky with dark clouds.
Stone steps mount to a gateway in the ruins of an old castle against which leans a man. Two cows graze in the centre, and, far below, we glimpse the sea. One of twenty seven gifts to seven museums by A E Anderson through the Art Fund between 1922 and 1938. Also known as The Rocking Stone.
