"Chasse-marée au plus près" is a pencil drawing by the French artist Charles Meryon, known for his etchings of Paris. The artwork depicts a small sailing vessel, a "chasse-marée" (a type of fishing boat), under full sail, with a smaller sailboat in the distance and a rocky coastline in the background. Meryon’s drawings, often characterized by their atmospheric quality, are known for their precise details and dramatic composition.
