Le Couvre-feu (1er planche) (The Curfew, 1st plate)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a linear perspective of a paved path leading to a town or city in the distance. Buildings, including a cathedral with a tall spire, are visible on the horizon. Figures are walking along the path, some carrying umbrellas. Trees without leaves are on the right, and buildings with chimneys are on the left. The image is monochrome with detailed line work, resembling an etching.
