The Banks of the Seine at Bezons

Maxime Lalanne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a riverside view with a slightly elevated perspective. A line of tall trees is on the left, small boats are docked on the right, and a wide river flows towards a distant horizon in the middle. The background features hills and a bridge with arches. The drawing is done in fine, intricate lines with a monochromatic palette of black and white ink on paper, depicting details like texture in clouds, foliage, and water.
