Viol Player (Le joueur de viole)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals. On the left, two figures are depicted from the knees up, standing with their hands crossed in front of them. Both have curly hair and similar facial features, with subtle and serene expressions. They appear to be wearing robes with high collars. The individual on the right, in profile, is depicted in a seated position playing a stringed instrument. This person, shown from the waist up, has slightly longer, wavy hair and a mustache. They are wearing a long-sleeved shirt with visible folds. In the background, there are several tree trunks with leaves. The scene is rendered with intricate crosshatching.
