1844
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Château de Pont-Gibaud is a 1844 ink by Eugène Isabey, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet village with a big castle on a hill. The houses are small and clustered, with sloped roofs and chimneys puffing smoke. In the foreground, a river runs across the bottom, lined with rocks and a few trees. The sky is dark and stormy, making the scene feel cool and moody. The artist used a technique called lithography, which lets you draw on stone and print it like a sketch. The rough, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost hand-drawn feel. Next, look up lithography to see how it works.
Eugène Louis Gabriel Isabey (French pronunciation: ; 22 July 1803 – 25 April 1886) was a French painter, lithographer and watercolorist in the Romantic style.
