Sheepfold on the Hill (Bergerie sur le Coteau) is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a small hut with a thatched roof on a grassy slope. Two thin trees stand near it. The ground is rocky and uneven. The whole scene is drawn in black lines with no color. The hut looks simple, built from wood and straw. The artist focused on textures—rough bark, tangled grass, and the rough roof.
