This drawing dates from de Wint's only trip abroad, to Normandy in 1828. This is the west front of the church. John Sell Cotman visited Lisieux in July 1818 and drew the church from a similar viewpoint. The drawing was engraved for Cotman's Normandy published in 1822 so it may have been known by de Wint.
