Souvenir de Bretagne

Eugène Isabey

National Gallery of Art

The image is a street view of a village in a black and white illustration titled "Souvenir de Bretagne." The point of view is slightly elevated, showing two buildings with timber framing and steep roofs on either side. In the distance, houses lead up to church spires, obscuring the horizon. The sky has rolling clouds, detailed with varying brushstrokes. The scene has varying shades of grey creating a monochrome aesthetic. A small boat is seen on its side along the cobblestone street.
