La Petite Marine - Souvenir de Medway is a 1879 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a serene seascape, with a small sailboat gliding across the water. The boat's dark silhouette stands out against the lighter tones of the sea and sky. In the foreground, a figure stands on the shore, gazing out at the vessel. The artist's use of etching, drypoint, and aquatint techniques creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The subtle play of light and shadow adds to the overall sense of calm. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Félix-Hilaire Buhot (1847–1898) was a French artist, born in Valognes.
