The Poacher is a 1834 ink by Paul Huet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a lone person sitting in a small boat on a river. Tall trees line the banks, their branches tangled and dense. The water looks calm, but the scene feels quiet and hidden. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in the trees and water. The person holds something small, maybe a fish or a tool.
