Village of Wimille, near Boulogne

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

Monochrome landscape drawing on textured paper, with a rectangular inset image. The image within the rectangle depicts a landscape with a cloudy sky that takes up the top third of the image. The sky has numerous intersecting lines indicating clouds. Below the sky, a small village with several low buildings and one taller building with a pointed roof is centered. The foreground shows a field with sparse vegetation and a darker area to the right. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner of the paper. The paper is off-white and has a rough texture. The image and paper are bordered by a thin line.
