Evening (Le Soir) is a 1894 ink by Armand Séguin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet evening scene with tall trees framing a darkening field. A lone figure sits on the grass, small against the big landscape. The sky is soft and muted, while the trees stand sharp and dark against it. The artist used a mix of lines and shading to create depth, focusing on light and shadow. This was a common trick in etchings to show mood. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Séguin made prints like this.
Armand Séguin (1869–1903) was a post-Impressionist French painter who is remembered for his involvement in the Pont-Aven School beginning in 1891.
