St. Valery sur somme is a 1844 graphite by Eugène Isabey, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two boats on a beach. One is a big ship with three tall masts, sitting on the sand. The other is a small rowboat nearby. Waves are drawn in quick, loose lines along the shore. The artist used light pencil strokes to show shadows and light. It looks like they were working fast, maybe outside. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion in their work.
Eugène Louis Gabriel Isabey (French pronunciation: ; 22 July 1803 – 25 April 1886) was a French painter, lithographer and watercolorist in the Romantic style.
