Point Isabel, Florida is a 1887 ink by Mary Nimmo Moran, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a swampy landscape with tall palm trees and tangled plants along a watery shore. The lines are rough and busy, making the scene feel wild and uneven. In the distance, a flat horizon stretches out with faint hints of buildings or trees. The artist used a technique called etching, where ink is pressed into a metal plate to create the lines. This method lets you see both sharp details and smudgy textures at once. Look up etching to see how this process works in more detail.
Mary Nimmo Moran (May 16, 1842 – September 25, 1899) was an American landscape printmaker, specializing in etchings.
