Village Overlooking a Bay is a 1881 ink by André-Marie-Paul Borel, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet village by the water. Trees fill the left side, their branches thick and dark against a pale background. Behind them, small buildings sit on a hill, with a church or tower rising above. The bay in front is calm, its surface marked with quick, sketchy lines. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into the metal plate, creating the textures you see. The rough water and leafy trees look almost like they’re moving. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
André-Marie-Paul Borel (1880–1882) was an artist.
