Marine View is a 1898 ink by Eugène Boudin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three tall ships with lots of ropes and sails, anchored near a shoreline. The water looks choppy, with quick, jagged lines. In the distance, a small town or harbor sits quietly. The artist used a scratchy, textured style—likely from carving into the metal plate. This was a common way to make prints before photography.

Eugène Louis Boudin (French: ; 12 July 1824 – 8 August 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors.
