The Tourist is a 1858 ink by Emmanuel Phélippes-Beaulieu, a Impressionism work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This small etching shows a man in a hat and coat standing on a street. He looks at a map in his hands. His shadow stretches long on the ground behind him. The artist used a roulette tool on the metal plate. This creates a dotted line effect in the shadows. It gives the scene a grainy, sketchy look that feels alive. Notice how his coat flutters in an unseen wind. It hints the moment is real. Try looking up the technique called etching.
