Trouville 1876

"Trouville," a pencil drawing by Maxime Lalanne, depicts the harbor at Trouville, France. Created in 1876, the artwork showcases the artist's delicate use of line and subtle shading to capture the scene. The composition focuses on the boats docked in the harbor, their masts reaching towards the hazy sky, while the buildings lining the shore are rendered in a more simplified style. The drawing's overall effect is one of tranquility and quiet observation, inviting viewers to contemplate the peaceful scene of daily life in a seaside town.
