Farm along the River seen by Evening Light (La ferme sur la riviere: Effet du soir)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pastoral scene with two figures working in a field near a thatched-roof farmhouse by a body of water. Surrounding the house are dense foliage and tall trees, leading to open fields in the distance. The sky above is empty. The artwork features fine cross-hatching and delicate strokes in a monochromatic palette.
