Un Débarquement en Angleterre is a 1879 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy waterfront scene at dusk. A crowd of people walks along a dock, some carrying bags or bundles. On the left, a ship’s hull and rigging loom in the dark, while a flag flutters above. The sky is heavy with clouds, and the streetlamps cast faint light on the wet pavement. The artist used a mix of rough lines and smudged tones to capture the mood—like a quick sketch that still feels alive. The title hints this might be about people arriving somewhere new.
