New York et Brooklyn - Vue prise au dessus dela batterie is a 1849 ink by Theodore Muller, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a busy harbor packed with ships of all sizes. Buildings line the water, some clustered tightly, others spaced out. The water is dotted with boats—some small, some huge—while the shore has hills and a few trees. The sky is pale, and the whole scene looks drawn by hand, then colored lightly. The tiny details, like the different ship designs, hint at a time when travel and trade were booming. The title at the bottom says it’s New York and Brooklyn, but the view feels almost like a dreamy sketch. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
