Marée Basse (Low Tide)

Eugène Isabey

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a seascape featuring a shoreline with boats on the sand. The horizon is low, emphasizing the dramatic sky with swirling clouds and a monochromatic color scheme of gray, black, and white. The sea is choppy, and the technique used effectively captures the texture of the water and clouds.
