Near the Woods (Pres du bois)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with gentle hills in the distance, viewed from an elevated vantage point. The horizon is not distinctly visible. The scene is depicted in intricate and delicate etchings with a monochromatic color palette of light beige and soft browns. The style includes cross-hatching and fine lines to detail trees and the terrain. Trees are depicted with curved strokes for foliage, adding depth and movement to the scene.
