Le Soir meme.. is a 1878 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy bridge packed with people and horses, framed by a stormy sky. Around the edges, tiny figures dance, fight, or float in chaotic scenes. The paper looks old, with rough texture and dark lines that pop against a light background. The artist used sharp tools to scratch into the metal plate, creating deep black lines. This technique lets ink fill the grooves, making the image stand out. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists like Buhot made prints.
