You see a quiet canal scene. A lone fisherman bends over the water near a wooden post. The banks are soft and blurry. The sky above is pale blue. This watercolor feels different from Legros’ usual sharp lines. It’s loose and dreamy. The colors blend softly, like early morning mist. Look closer at the fisherman’s hat. The way the light hits it shows Legros’ skill. Check out Legros, Alphonse next.
