Riveaux is a 1825 ink by George Cuitt the Younger, a Romanticism work, depicting ruins, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a scene with trees and a river. It's an etching, which is a technique where the artist scratches a design onto a metal plate. The artist was quite young when he made this, and that's interesting because it shows he was already skilled at a pretty complex process. You can learn more about this technique by looking into etching.
