Moonlight is a 1894 unspecified by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
You're looking at a painting called "Moonlight" by Charles Jacque. It's from 1888 and is held at the Brooklyn Museum. The painting shows a shepherd and his flock of sheep by a river, under the light of the full moon. The shepherd is sitting on a rock, holding a long stick. The sheep are gathered around him, some drinking from the river. The trees and bushes are dark and shadowy, but the moonlight casts a silver glow over the scene. The painting is very peaceful and quiet, like a moment of stillness in the night. If you want to learn more about the artist who created this painting, you might want to look up Charles Jacque.
