Part of a collection of French ports commissioned for King Louis XV in 1776, the artwork is now housed in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark. This piece is an excellent example of 18th-century printmaking and provides a glimpse into the bustling maritime activity of Rouen in the era. The work is notable for its technical skill, precise detail, and overall sense of realism.
