View of a Shore

André-Marie-Paul Borel

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching depicting a coastal landscape. Dark trees with intricate foliage are on the left. The horizon line crosses the midsection, with the sea extending into the distance. A sailboat is on the water, and distant hills rise against the sky. The color palette is black, gray, and white. The sky has light, sweeping lines indicating subtle cloud formations.
