"Riverbank at Night" is a small etching by Charles Jacque from 1844. The artwork depicts a serene nighttime scene along a riverbank. The artist uses delicate lines to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The central figure, a lone individual standing by the water's edge, is illuminated by a bright light source, adding a touch of mystery to the composition. The scene is framed by trees, their silhouettes adding a sense of peacefulness to the overall composition.
