Stand of Trees (Bouquet d'arbres)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a viewpoint slightly elevated, overlooking a gently sloping terrain. The horizon is high in the composition, filled with trees. A farmhouse and a rounded structure are present on the left side in the distance. The etching style uses linear brushstrokes to depict foliage and structures with texture and form. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of gray and sepia creating contrast and shadow to define shapes and depth.
