Crépuscule poetique (Poetical Twilight)

Charles Émile Jacque

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pastoral scene with a shepherd among a flock of sheep in the foreground. Trees and shrubs line the horizon against a dusky blue sky. The right side of the image is framed by gently arching trees, and the strokes are delicate and detailed. The color palette consists of muted, earthy tones like dark brown, black, and twilight blues.
