From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Farm at the Monastery (La ferme de l'abbaye) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a serene farm scene, with a cluster of buildings nestled among trees. The central structure appears to be a barn or farmhouse, accompanied by several smaller outbuildings. In the foreground, a small stream or ditch runs along the bottom edge of the image, with a few trees and bushes scattered about. The scene is rendered in a range of dark tones, with the buildings and trees standing out against a lighter background. The overall effect is one of quiet tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the farm. For more on this style of printmaking, explore the technique of etching.
