Seine Boat for "Le Pont-au-Change" is a 1854 graphite by Charles Meryon, a Impressionism work, depicting Tent, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a small boat on the Seine River in Paris. It's drawn in graphite on paper. The details of the boat and the surrounding city are carefully drawn. The artist paid attention to the textures of the wood and the stone. You can see the lines and shapes that make up the scene. To learn more about this style of drawing, look up the technique: chiaroscuro.
Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
