Bridge at the Mill (Le pont du moulin)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rustic scene with buildings on the left side blending into the natural surroundings. The horizon is not clearly visible due to trees and foliage. The etching technique is used with meticulous and textured brushstrokes, including cross-hatching for depth and shading. The color palette is monochrome with shades of grey. A large tree dominates the center, with a path leading through the landscape to distant hills.
