À Concarneau (Finistère) is a 1874 ink by Maxime Lalanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy harbor scene with boats docked along the shore. People walk along the water’s edge, and buildings line the right side. The water is dotted with small ships, and in the distance, a bridge and towers rise over the town. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and movement—no colors, just black and white. The clouds above are loose and wavy, like they’re moving fast. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists create these detailed prints with just a needle.
François Antoine Maxime Lalanne (November 27, 1827 – July 29, 1886) was a French artist known for his etchings and charcoal drawings (fusain).
