1884
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Winter (1st Plate) is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in a hat and long coat, bent over and carrying a long piece of wood on his shoulder. He is walking on a path in a winter landscape with snow-covered hills and bare trees. The scene is drawn in black and white, with many lines that give it a detailed look. The man is wearing old-fashioned clothes and shoes, and he seems to be working hard to carry the heavy wood. The background is simple, with just a few lines to suggest the hills and trees. This painting is an example of the work of Alphonse Legros, a French artist who was part of the Impressionism and Realism movements.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
