View of a quay with sloops in Cannes, print, printmaker: Eugène Bejot, Cannes, 1893, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, roulette, height 199 mm x width 277 mm, ships (in general) - CC - more than one ship, quay, lighthouse, lightship, A sepia-toned sketch showing a harbor scene with a long pier stretching toward the right where a large boat sits at the waterline, its hull reflected in rippling water. Along the left edge a cylindrical lighthouse rises above the pier with a small gallery near its top. Numerous dark, silhouetted figures stand and move along the pier and on the quay, some gathered in small groups and others appearing to carry or handle long objects. Stacked barrels and planks of timber fill the foreground on the quay, with outlines of wheels and crates among them. The composition emphasizes horizontal lines of the pier, the water, and the distant boat, with delicate, fine linear shading defining surfaces and reflections.
