The Needles from Alum Bay, Isle of Wight, at Sunset

This is a view looking west from Alum Bay with the Needles visible in the distance. Barret exhibited a number of Isle of Wight views in the early 1820s. An earlier version of this view by Barret is in the Yale Center for British Art (B1977.14.4917). Barret Junior is best known for his Italianate landscapes in the manner of Claude.
