Landscape (Paysage) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a landscape with a castle on a hill. The castle has a few towers and a wall around it. There are trees in front of the castle, and the sky is cloudy. The painting is done in black and white, with lots of lines and textures. The painting has a lot of detail, especially in the trees and the castle walls. The artist used different techniques to create texture and depth, like hatching and cross-hatching. The overall effect is one of atmosphere and mood, rather than a realistic depiction of the scene.
