This artistic method, employed by renowned creators throughout history, brings forth a unique visual experience that transcends time. One such masterpiece is "Triumphal Arch and Figures, " crafted by Andrea Locatelli in the first half of the 1700s.

Through skillful use of black chalk lines, Jongkind captures both movement and stillness simultaneously—inviting us to immerse ourselves in this maritime spectacle. Moving forward, we encounter fragments that tell stories on their own accord. From traces near ruins to sketches capturing fleeting moments like Jean Louis Forain's "Courtesan (recto) Figure Sketches (verso)" from 1906—the versatility and expressiveness achieved through black chalk are undeniable.
