From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Landscape (Paysage) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a hilly landscape with a few trees and bushes. The scene is drawn with many lines, giving it a textured look. The artist used a technique called drypoint to add more detail to the etching. This technique involves scratching the plate with a sharp tool, creating a rougher texture that holds more ink.
