"St. Valery sur Somme" is a graphite drawing by Eugène Isabey, a French artist known for his maritime paintings and drawings. This sketch depicts a ship beached on a shore, possibly after a storm. Isabey's work is characterized by its delicate linework and attention to detail, offering a glimpse into the dramatic power of the sea. The composition of this drawing, featuring a ship grounded on the beach and a lone anchor, suggests a sense of isolation and vulnerability.
