Ex-Libris Edwin Edwards

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a stone building with a round tower in the distance, surrounded by trees. The building is off-center to the left, with a path leading to the right. The brushstrokes are fine and create textures and shading. The color palette is monochromatic, using black ink and the natural paper tone for contrast. In the foreground, there is a large dog next to a stone plaque. The composition leads the eye from the foreground to the trees and path in the background.
