Death and the Woodcutter, 3rd plate (La mort et le bucheron)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in a field. The figure on the left is crouched down, holding harvested wheat and a hand sickle. The person has a beard, wears a cap, and appears focused. The figure on the right stands behind the first one, holding a scythe over their shoulder. Their face is partially visible in profile. The background includes fields, trees, and a sky with linear etchings.
