Riveaux is a 1825 ink by George Cuitt the Younger, a Romanticism work, depicting Ruins, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a winding river with tall trees on its banks. The lines are sharp and delicate, like fine scratches on metal. Light catches the water in tiny dots, suggesting ripples. George Cuitt made this when he was just four years old. Most artists start later. He used a needle to scratch the metal plate, then inked it for the print. This is a drypoint technique.
