La Chapelle Saint-Michel à l'Estre (The Chapel Saint-Michel at l'Estre)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

This etching depicts a landscape with an elevated viewpoint. The horizon is high in the image, showing the sea meeting the sky with scattered clouds. The foreground shows a terrain with trees and bushes drawn with intricate patterns. In the distance, a promontory juts into the sea, and a castle-like structure is visible. The etching is primarily monochromatic with rich tonal variations. Various line techniques are used to create texture and depth in the landscape.
