Spring (Le printemps)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a pastoral view from an elevated angle, showing a group of figures relaxing on a grassy hillside. A woman sits with her back turned, accompanied by a cherubic figure. A man reclines nearby, while to the right, a woman and a child interact. Trees populate the horizon, suggesting rolling hills stretching beyond. The artwork features detailed etching techniques with a monochromatic sepia color palette. Other figures can be seen in the background, adding to the scene's continuity.
