Le Souper chez misère

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of four people in a dimly lit room. The scene shows a group gathered around a square table. There are two men on one side of the table and one man and one woman on the other side. The two men on the left side are facing right. The man on the far left has a receding hairline and a beard and is wearing an open-necked shirt. The man next to him has a mustache and goatee and appears to be holding something up to his mouth. The woman stands behind them, wearing a head covering, and appears to be serving food. The man on the right side of the table has a balding head with a beard and is leaning forward. On the table is a candle and several plates. The walls are made of stone blocks and there are wooden beams on the ceiling. The atmosphere appears somber. The title of the piece is "Le Souper chez misère" and the artist is Alphonse Legros.
