This print depicts a foreshortened view of rue Notre Dame in Dieppe. The vantage point is from the waterfront of Quai Duquesne. The church that rises in the distance is St Jacques. Sickert worked La Rue Notre Dame, Dieppe more extensively than any other print in his career. The signature was reworked, figures were added, areas of shadow were elaborated, the contrejour effect of the buildings was deepened with aquatint, and so on. Harold Wright identified twelve states, but the researches of Ruth Bromberg show that the plate in fact went through no fewer than sixteen states.
