About this work

This watercolor drawing shows a volcano erupting at night, with bright orange and red glow bursting from its summit and ash clouds filling the sky. Streaks of incandescent debris arc through the dark smoke, and lightning flashes at the edges, above a calm sea and a dark coastline. Two small figures stand on a stone wall in the foreground watching the eruption. Lansdown Guilding and identifies it as a print.
