The Port of Monaco 1873

"The Port of Monaco" is a black and white etching by Adolphe Appian, a French artist known for his landscapes and maritime scenes. The etching depicts a harbor scene, with several ships docked at the shore, while other vessels sail on the open water in the background. Appian masterfully rendered the detail of the ships and the calm surface of the water with delicate lines and subtle shading, creating a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. The artwork is on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
