Cliffs with a Waterfall at Tivoli is a 1809 chalk by Claude Thiénon, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This landscape drawing shows a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliffside. The cliff's rugged texture is rendered in detailed black chalk strokes. In the background, a building sits atop the cliff, while trees and foliage are visible on the left side. A closer look reveals the artist's attention to detail in depicting the waterfall's flow and the cliff's contours. The use of black chalk creates a sense of depth and texture in the scene. If you're interested in exploring more works from this period, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
