La Mort et le Bûcheron (5th Plate)

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a man kneeling on the ground in a forest. The man wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long-sleeved shirt. He rests on his left knee and leans on his right leg. His right hand grips a scythe. His left arm is extended, holding the scythe's handle. In front of him on the ground lie the skeletal remains of a man. The skeletal man wears a hat and long pants. A tree trunk with branches is behind the standing man. The image depicts a somber scene. A signature appears at the bottom right.
