A t Pontchéry, Isère (A Pontcheruy , Isère, vue d’une chute d’eau) is a 1857 ink by Louis Hector François Allemand, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white print of a wooded riverbank. Trees with thick trunks and tangled branches line the shore. The water rushes over rocks, creating small rapids. In the distance, a few people stand near the water’s edge. The artist used a sharp, precise line to show every leaf and ripple. This was made in 1857, before color became common in prints.

Louis Hector François Allemand (1809–1886) was a French artist, born in Lyon.
