View at Alençon (Vue prise à Alençon) is a 1839 ink by Jules Dupré, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with a small bridge in the distance. Trees line the bank, some bare, others blooming, and a few houses peek through the foliage. The water looks calm, and a lone boat sits near the shore under a weeping willow. The title at the bottom, *Vue prise à Alençon*, hints this is a real place—just a view from a town. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and mood over details. Want to know more? Check out lithography to see how this print was made.
