Landscape is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a landscape with a brown wash and pen, brown ink. In the foreground, there are trees and bushes, with people working in a field in the distance. The sky is cloudy, and there are hills in the background. The painting has a soft, dreamy quality, with the brown wash giving it a warm, earthy tone. The artist has used delicate lines and subtle shading to create a sense of depth and texture.
