The First of September, Evening is a 1794 ink by William Ward, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a scene of people and animals gathered outside a rustic building. A man sits on a bench, while another man stands beside him, holding a horse's reins. A child and a dog are also present in the scene. The building features a thatched roof and a sign with an image of a man on it. The atmosphere appears to be one of evening, with the sky visible in the background. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, with the light source coming from the left side of the image. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the textures of the building and the clothing of the figures. This painting is a great example of the Romanticism movement, and you can learn more about it by exploring the works of William Ward, the artist who created this piece.
