Striking graphite sketch of a landscape of Normandy on an off-white 7.5 x 4 sheet, bearing Jongkind’s signature stamp to the lower right. Attractively matted and framed to an overall size of 15 x 9.5. In fine condition. Jongkind was an important Dutch painter and printmaker best known for his landscapes done in a free manner. His sensitive recording of atmosphere and light would later influence Claude Monet, who attributed to Jongkind ‘the definitive education’ of his eye. After moving to Paris from the Netherlands, Jongkind often visited Normandy to sketch the region's coastline and ports. His process generally consisted of quick plein air landscape sketches and watercolors, which he then used as the basis for a final composite oil painting done in his studio—this is presumably one such sketch. A scarce and immensely desirable piece by this important artist.
