Riverscape with a Waterfall 1768

"Riverscape with a Waterfall" (1768) is a delicate pencil drawing by French artist Aignan-Thomas Desfriches. It captures a serene landscape, showcasing a waterfall cascading over rocks, creating a soft, misty scene. The trees in the foreground are rendered with detail, while the distant landscape fades into a hazy sky. The composition, with a prominent tree in the foreground and a receding waterfall, emphasizes the natural beauty and tranquility of the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of landscape drawings of this period.
