Corner of a Wood (Coin d'un bois)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a dense forest with tall trees in the foreground. The tree trunks rise from the ground, covered in detailed foliage. In the background, there are rolling hills with a soft brushstroke texture, creating depth. The horizon line is in the upper third of the image, marked by curved hills. The artwork uses fine cross-hatching to add texture and depth, with a monochromatic color palette of black and white for contrast and dimension.
