Landscape (Paysage)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a lower perspective looking up at a dense cluster of trees and foliage with structures visible among the greenery. The horizon line is low in the composition, obscured by the trees. The etched lines and cross-hatching technique create shadows and texture. The color palette is monochromatic, with varying shades of black and brown on a cream background. The details of the buildings among the trees are less distinct.
