Landscape along a Riverbank with a Figure is a 1905 ink by Alphonse Legros, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a single person sitting by a river. Brown ink and wash cover faint pencil lines. The river curves gently behind them. Legros was a printmaker too, so he knew how light plays on paper. Here, he lets the wash pool in soft shadows. The figure almost blends into the setting.
