Farm with Large Tree (La ferme au grand arbre)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape view with a large tree on the right side, extending upward and out of the frame. In the background, there is a body of water reflecting the scene, with grasses and rocks in the foreground. The horizon is below the middle, featuring a silhouette of a house with a steeply pitched roof and a chimney, along with a cart or wagon on a hill. The sky has clouds and the brushstrokes are detailed, with cross-hatching for contrast. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of dark brown and sepia, consistent with an etching technique.
