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

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape seen from an elevated position. A small round structure is visible on the horizon, with detailed etching using cross-hatched lines to create texture. Dense foliage and trees are in the foreground, with shadows creating dark patches. The landscape extends into rolling hills and fields in the distance, drawn with gentle lines. The color palette is monochromatic, using varying intensities of black and white for contrast.
