"Figuren op de hoek van de kade van La Goulette" (Figures at the Corner of the Quay of La Goulette) is an etching by Vicomte Arthur-Jean Le Bailly d'Inghuem, created in 1875. The print depicts a group of figures standing on a quay overlooking a body of water. The figures are silhouetted against a cloudy sky, suggesting an evening or twilight scene. The use of etching, a technique that involves incising lines into a metal plate to create an image, creates a sense of depth and texture in the composition. The piece offers a glimpse into the daily life of La Goulette, a coastal town in Tunisia, a popular destination for European travelers in the 19th century.
