Evening is a 1882 ink by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet countryside scene at dusk. A cow drinks from a shallow stream while a shepherd guides a flock along a grassy path. Tall trees frame the scene, their branches tangled against a soft sky. The artist used fine lines to create depth, almost like sketching with ink. This isn’t painted—it’s etched, so every mark you see was carved into the metal plate. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this make prints.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
