Along the Top of the Hill (Sur le haut de la colline)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rustic scene with a path leading past a thatched-roofed structure. The horizon is low, hinting at distant trees and a possible church spire. Delicate etching lines give texture to the scene which is mainly in sepia and brown tones. A figure with a staff is walking away from the structure, under a serene sky.
