Label TextRichards made several trips to Europe over the course of the last fourteen years of his life. This included visits to Great Britain, France and Norway. The resulting studies are marked by a greater painterliness and a rougher handling of elements than in his finished oils. The artist masterfully compressed his panoramic views of the coast into works ranging from a mere 4 x 6 inches to 9 x 16 inches in size.
