À Bordeaux (At Bordeaux)

Maxime Lalanne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a waterfront scene with boats and ships in a busy harbor. The cityscape in the distance features buildings and a cathedral spire. The etching technique captures light, shadow, water reflections, and ship textures. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of grey and black. Clouds are lightly sketched in the sky.
