Landscape with Two Trees (Paysage aux deux Arbres)

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing of a house and trees beside water. The picture is long and horizontal. Most of the scene consists of a group of trees to the right and a house on the left behind a low hill. The group of trees obscures most of the house. The house has a sloping roof and is mostly hidden. There are two prominent tree trunks to the left. The one on the right is thicker. The one on the right has many leaves. The ground slopes down to water on the right. The water appears choppy. The trees and house are drawn in the shade. The sky is filled with diagonal lines and shading that fades to white at the top. The picture has a thick border. The artist's name is written in the bottom right corner.
