Crépuscule poetique (Poetical Twilight) is a 1853 ink by Charles Émile Jacque, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet forest scene at dusk. Two trees frame a small path where a lone figure walks, carrying something bundled on their back. The ground is rough with rocks and bushes, and the sky is darkening above. The title *Crépuscule poétique* hints this print plays with mood—twilight as a quiet, almost dreamy moment. The artist used soft shading to make the scene feel mysterious. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints with stone and ink.
