Un Grain à Trouville (Squall at Trouville)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a beach scene with people carrying umbrellas. The figures are drawn in a delicate style, wearing period clothing. The sky is dynamic with moving clouds, and the sea stretches into the distance with faint boats visible. The artist used fine etching techniques, evident in the detailed lines. The image is monochrome, emphasizing contrast through sepia tones. In the background, buildings with distinct architectural features overlook the beach.
