La fiancee du roi de Garbe: La cassette

Jean-Baptiste Tilliard after Charles Monnet

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a seascape with a shipwreck scene. The image shows ocean waves crashing against rocky cliffs, with ships visible in the background. A fallen tree with branches reaching towards the sea is present. In the foreground, the composition includes two intertwined figures amidst the shipwreck debris. The detailed etching lines convey motion and texture in the waves and foliage.
