1833
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Intérieur d'un Port is a 1833 ink by Eugène Isabey, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy harbor scene with tall ships docked on the left. Clothes hang from the boats, and people crowd along the shore, sitting or chatting near wooden houses. The buildings have steep roofs and small windows, and the ground looks wet and rocky. The title *Intérieur d’un Port* means "Interior of a Port," but this isn’t a real place—it’s a made-up view of daily life. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and chaos. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
Eugène Louis Gabriel Isabey (French pronunciation: ; 22 July 1803 – 25 April 1886) was a French painter, lithographer and watercolorist in the Romantic style.
