Evening (Le Soir)

Armand Séguin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a thicket of trees with a distant horizon framed by tall, slender trunks and branches. The intricate etching strokes emphasize textures and forms of the trees, giving a dense appearance. A path curves into the scene, providing depth. The etching technique uses fine lines and hatching to create a rich, earthy color palette with deep browns and sepia hints, contrasting the dark foreground with the lighter sky.
