Landscape: Road to Horville (Paysage: Chemin d'Horville)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a landscape with trees, foliage, fields, bushes, and sparse trees or shrubs. The view overlooks the open expanse from a slightly elevated vantage point. The horizon is high in the composition, with the sky taking up a significant portion of the frame. The color palette is monochromatic, using various shades of gray to depict depth through shading. The detailed cross-hatched strokes add texture to the landscape.
