Embarcadere à Trouville (Wharf at Trouville)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a busy dockside scene with a steamship, a figure on the shore, and several people near the ship. The background shows a distant structure, and the sky blends into subtle tones. The artwork is created using fine lines and cross-hatching typical of etching, using a monochrome color palette of black and grey.
