The Tower

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Tower by Alphonse Legros: A landscape drawing in shades of gray, featuring a man in the lower right corner, wearing a hat and coat, leaning on a long object. The man stands on a sandy area with sparse vegetation, sloping upward to a line of trees on the right. Beyond the trees and a structure in the distance are more trees and rolling hills. The sky above is filled with faint, scattered lines. The entire scene is enclosed within a rectangular border. The drawing is on a textured, off-white background, with the artist's signature in the bottom-right corner.
