The Watering Place (2nd Plate)

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark gray sketch on light gray background. A donkey or a horse stands in center, head down, facing left. The animal's body blocks most of a doorway. Behind the animal to the right is a sloping roof. A smaller slanted roof or awning appears to the right of the doorway. Two people sit on the left on what appears to be a pile of hay or bales. One person sits with hand to face. The other person's features are not visible. In the background on the right are trees. The artist's signature appears in the bottom right corner.
