Farm on the Hillside (La ferme sur le coteau)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two donkeys standing closely, partially obstructed by a tree to the left. In the background, there are mountains with jagged peaks. The style of the image is detailed etching with fine lines and hatches, typical of printmaking. The color palette is monochromatic, with varying shades of brown. Shadows and highlights help to create texture and depth in the foliage and the donkeys.
