Environs de Dieppe is a 1832 ink by Eugène Isabey, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a rocky coastline with a steep cliff on the left. Below, a small village clings to the shore, its buildings tucked close to the water. People and boats dot the scene, and waves crash against the jagged rocks. The title *Environs de Dieppe* hints this is a real place near France, though the print feels dreamy and rough. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show texture in the cliffs and water. Next, check out how lithography works to make prints like this.
