Marine: Souvenir of Medway is a 1879 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a dark, stormy seascape with a lone sailboat anchored near the shore. In the foreground, a person stands on a narrow wooden pier, looking out at the water. The sky is thick with swirling clouds, and the waves crash against the shore. The artist used a mix of dark and light tones to show the mood of the scene. The rough texture of the paper and the way the lines are pressed in make it feel almost like the storm itself. Look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
