Zicht op een visserswoning in Normandië c. 1832 - 1840

"Zicht op een visserswoning in Normandië" (View of a fisherman's house in Normandy) is a lithograph by Eugène Modeste Edmond Lepoittevin, created between 1832 and 1840. This artwork depicts a picturesque scene of a modest fisherman's cottage nestled against a cliff, with figures in the foreground adding a sense of scale and human presence. Lepoittevin's meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of the rural landscape of Normandy exemplify the characteristics of 19th-century Realism, capturing the beauty of everyday life. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this lithograph is a testament to Lepoittevin's talent for capturing the essence of the French countryside.
