Woodcutter (Le bucheron)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man chopping a log in a barren landscape. The horizon is low, showing a line of trees meeting the sky. The style is sketch-like with detailed lines. The color palette is black and white, highlighting the scene's starkness. Logs lie on the ground, some partially cut, with tree stumps around. A path with a log fence leads to more trees in the background.
