The Watering Place (2nd Plate)

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a grayscale sketch of a rural scene. A man sits on the left beside a horse. The man faces right, bending over at the waist. He wears a hat and long-sleeved clothing. The horse stands on all fours to his right; its head is lowered to the ground. Behind them is a large building with a sloping roof and an attached smaller structure. A tall, round tower-like building with a conical roof is behind and to the right. A tree trunk is on the far left. The background features a tree line and an empty field. The artwork is signed "A. Legros" in the bottom right corner.
