Grenoble is a 1883 chalk by Johan Barthold Jongkind, a Impressionism work, depicting Seine, held at National Gallery of Art.
A watercolor shows a quiet harbor at dusk. Fishing boats float on still water. Lights glow from houses along the shore. Jongkind often painted this scene in the 1880s. He used watercolor with gouache to brighten shadows. You can see his brushstrokes in the wet paper. This work feels like a snapshot. It shows the moment before night falls. Look up Jongkind, Johan Barthold next.
