Old Gloucester Shore is a 1888 ink by William Goodrich Beal, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet harbor scene with a few small boats anchored near shore. The water is rough, with waves crashing against rocks in the foreground. In the background, there are simple buildings with thatched roofs and a lone tree standing near them. The artist used sharp lines to show texture—like the grain of the water or the rough edges of the rocks. This was done with etching and drypoint, which lets ink sit in the carved lines. Next, check out the technique: etching, drypoint.
