View of Saint-Andéol is a 1774 ink by Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet village square. A stone well sits in the center, with a few people gathered around it. Some are sitting on the ground, others stand near a loaded donkey. A few goats wander nearby. In the background, old buildings lean against each other, and a tall church steeple points to the sky. The artist used fine lines to show every detail, from the folds in the clothes to the texture of the stone. This was done with a technique called etching. Look up etching to see how artists carve images into metal plates.
