Place du Tertre is a 1864 ink by Auguste Delâtre, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows bare trees in the foreground, their branches twisting against a pale sky. Behind them, a row of buildings with flat roofs and simple windows lines the street. The ground looks uneven, with patches of grass and dirt. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in the trees and buildings. The word "Capucins" is written at the top, maybe naming the spot. Want to see more? Check out etching to learn how artists make prints like this.
