Un Débarquement en Angleterre (Landing in England) is a 1879 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy dock at night. A ship sits in the water, its flag flying high. On the shore, people crowd around—some stand near wagons, others walk along a path lit by flickering lamps. The air feels thick with smoke and movement. The artist used rough, scratchy lines to show the hustle of the scene. The title hints this is about people arriving in England. Want to see more?
