From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Farm along the River seen by Evening Light (La ferme sur la riviere: Effet du soir) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet riverside scene with a small farmhouse on a hill. A lone figure sits by the water, bent over something near the shore. Trees and bushes fill the foreground, while the sky fades into soft lines. The artist used shading to show light fading over the landscape. This style was common in Romantic-era prints. Look up etching to see how artists like Legros carved images into metal plates.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
