"Evening" (Le Soir) is an etching by Charles Jacque, created in 1864. The artwork depicts a group of cattle silhouetted against a pale evening sky. The subtle light and dark tones create a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. Jacque, a celebrated animal painter, is known for his detailed and expressive depictions of farm life, often featuring cows, sheep, and other livestock. This etching is a fine example of Jacque's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the beauty of the natural world.
