From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Avenue of Poplars (L'allee de peupliers) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You're looking at a landscape painting. It's a view down a dirt road lined with tall trees. The trees are mostly bare, with a few leaves still clinging to the branches. The road curves off into the distance, disappearing behind a screen of trees. The painting is done in dark, muted colors, with deep shadows and highlights of pale light. The trees seem to loom over the road, casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. This painting is part of the Romanticism movement.
