La Porte de St Malo à Dinan

François Bonvin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a view through a large, dark stone archway onto a sloping street with houses. Two women in 19th-century attire stand in the shadows of the archway. A wooden door is set into the wall to the left. The architectural details feature intricate hatching techniques, creating depth and texture. The color palette is monochromatic with black ink on a light background. In the distance, a village and rolling landscape are partially visible.
