The Chapel Saint-Michel at L'Estre by Félix Hilaire Buhot. The image shows a landscape with a body of water on the left, leading to a distant, hazy horizon. The sky above has scattered clouds. In the foreground on the right, there is a cliffside with rugged terrain and sparse vegetation. The cliffside appears to drop down to a lower area with a few trees and bushes. Further down the cliff, there are a couple of people standing. On the far left, there are more trees and what appears to be a village or buildings. In the distance, a chapel or church is visible on a hill. The entire scene is rendered in shades of gray and black, suggesting it is an etching or engraving. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner, and a red monogram is stamped at the bottom center.
