Morning on the River (Le Matin sur la rivière)

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape drawing of a river scene. A man wearing a hat, shirt, and pants is pulling a small wooden boat onto the riverbank. The boat has a square section at the back. The man is leaning over, holding a tree with one hand and the boat with the other. He is positioned on the left side of the image. The riverbank has grass and a tree beside the man. There are more trees on the right side of the riverbank. The river reflects the trees. The sky is light and featureless. The drawing is done in black on light-colored paper. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner. The title and artist's name appear to be in the context but are not visible on the image.
