Untitled (Coastal Scene) is a 1891 ink by John O. Anderson, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet coastal village with small houses and a church steeple in the distance. A narrow path leads to a dock where a lone sailboat sits on calm water. Tall grasses and a few trees frame the scene, while a windmill stands near the water’s edge. The artist used fine lines to capture light and texture, especially in the grass and water. This style is typical of etchings, where ink is pressed into a metal plate. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this create detailed prints.
