La rencontre sous la voute (3e planche) (The Meeting under the Arch) (third plate) is a 1910 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching on laid van gelder paper shows a scene of two men standing under an arch. They are dressed in long coats and hats, with one of them holding a cane. The background is a simple landscape with a few buildings and trees. The artist's use of lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's attention to the figures in the foreground. The arch above them adds a sense of grandeur and drama to the scene. The intricate details and expressive lines in this etching are reminiscent of the work of Jean-Louis Forain, an artist known for his skillful use of etching techniques.
Jean-Louis Forain (French pronunciation: ; 23 October 1852 – 11 July 1931) was a French Impressionist painter and printmaker, working in media including oils, watercolour, pastel, etching and lithograph.
