Landscape with a Pond is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene. A small pond sits in the foreground, surrounded by tall reeds. Behind it, a grassy hill rises, dotted with a few trees and a tiny house with a thatched roof. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture light and shadow. The trees and house blend softly into the background, almost like a faded memory. Next, check out Realism to see how artists focused on everyday scenes like this one.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
