Near the Mill (Pres du moulin)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a calm stream with a figure fishing on the bank. Tall trees line the opposite shore, leading to a distant horizon with soft lines indicating vegetation. The etching features intricate lines, cross-hatching for texture, and a monochrome palette of black and beige tones.
