Español: Crepúsculo poético

Un pastor con gorra se inclina entre un rebaño de ovejas reunidas en una ladera oscura y herbosa, bajo árboles altos e inclinados al atardecer. Hachurados finos en negro sobre papel claro construyen un cielo gris suave, una línea de arbustos lejanos y el follaje recortado, en una litografía firmada «C. Jacque lith».

Português: Crepúsculo poético

Um pastor de boné se inclina entre um rebanho de ovelhas reunidas numa encosta escura e gramada, sob árvores altas e inclinadas ao crepúsculo. Hachuras finas em preto sobre papel claro criam um céu cinza suave, uma linha de arbustos distantes e a folhagem recortada, numa litografia assinada «C. Jacque lith».
