The Pigeon Tower

Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Pigeon Tower by Alphonse Legros: A grayscale sketch on textured paper depicts a rural landscape. A low stone wall borders the left side, behind which sits a small building with a sloping tiled roof, accompanied by a tall cylindrical tower. Trees with bare branches flank the structures on the left and right. Darker shading accentuates the foreground through cross-hatching. A signature "A. Legros" appears at the bottom right corner, set within a rectangular border.
