Choir in a Spanish Church (La choeur d'une eglise espagnole) is a 1860 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a somber scene of a choir in a Spanish church. The choir members, dressed in dark attire, are seated and standing in various positions, their faces solemn. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the only sound being the soft murmur of their voices. In the foreground, a musician plays a stringed instrument, adding a sense of depth to the scene. The background is dimly lit, with the faint outline of a church interior visible. The overall mood is one of reverence and devotion. To learn more about the techniques used in this painting, explore the world of etching.
