The Watering Place (2nd Plate)

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white drawing of a horse standing beside a cart or wagon. The horse faces left; its head is lowered, and it is positioned beside a cart with its back to the viewer. The cart appears to be old-fashioned. A large building with a sloping roof and two visible windows stands behind the horse on the left. The right side of the building extends to form a smaller roof. The background features trees on both sides of the building, and the entire scene is rendered in dense, cross-hatching lines on gray paper with a darker border. The drawing is signed by Alphonse Legros.
