Landscape (Paysage) is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a landscape with a person sitting in the foreground. The person is wearing a hat and has their back to the viewer. They are sitting on the ground, surrounded by trees and bushes. The sky is visible in the background, but it's not clear what the weather is like. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a lot of attention to detail. The trees and bushes are depicted in a very lifelike way, with lots of texture and shading. The person in the foreground is also very detailed, with a clear expression on their face.
