1884
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Gardener is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a gardener in a simple coat, bent over his work. His hands dig into dark soil. The background is soft and out of focus. Legros was British-French and taught at the Slade School in London. He made this early in his career. The man looks tired but proud. Check out his later prints at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
