Harbor in Holland - Flushing (La balise - En Holland, Flessingue) is a 1894 ink by Paul Signac, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet harbor scene with two boats on the water. One boat is a small sailboat with a person standing at the front, while the other is a larger ship in the background. The water has lots of wavy lines, and the shore has buildings, trees, and a few tall lightposts. The artist used a blue-green ink to create a soft, almost dreamy look. The lines are precise but still feel loose, giving a sense of movement in the water. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Paul Victor Jules Signac ( seen-YAHK, French: ; 11 November 1863 – 15 August 1935) was a French Neo-Impressionist painter who, with Georges Seurat, helped develop the artistic technique Pointillism.
