Mont Saint-Michel, etching by Axel Herman Haig
A tall Gothic abbey with a spire crowns a rocky tidal island, its buildings stepping down past fortified walls and clustered houses. In the foreground, small figures and a pack animal cross wet sand under a cloud-filled sky. The etching uses fine hatched lines and soft tonal shading in warm brown ink.
