Maxime Lalanne's 1883 etching, "View of Nogent," captures a serene landscape scene of the French town Nogent-sur-Marne. The print, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Lalanne's skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow through delicate lines. The composition highlights the town's architecture, a meandering river, and the surrounding foliage, reflecting the artist's interest in naturalistic detail and the everyday beauty of his surroundings.
