View of a Farm (La ferme des Bordes)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image is from a slightly elevated angle of a figure working with a long tool. The background shows bushes or low trees, with hills or a rocky outcrop beyond them. The illustration has cross-hatched lines and sketchy strokes, particularly evident in the rendering of trees and foliage. The color palette is predominantly sepia. Tall trees sweep from the lower right to upper left, and there is a suggestion of hills in the far distance.
