Le Patre is a 1873 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a dimly lit alley with two people. One person stands near a stone archway, looking inside where a faint light glows. The other person sits on the ground, leaning on a cane, with a dog beside them. Bare trees and a dark sky frame the scene. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the scene feel quiet and mysterious. The light inside the archway is the only bright spot. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
