Bastion 66 is a 1871 ink by Maxime Lalanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with simple buildings and a few people. The water is choppy, and a small boat sits near the shore. In the background, a cluster of houses and a church steeple rise up a gentle hill. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, almost like a quick sketch. The scene looks calm but busy, with people going about daily tasks. Next, check out etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this one.
