Man Watering a Horse (Homme abreuvant un cheval) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the image, a man is shown watering a horse. The man is dressed in a long coat and hat, and he is holding a bucket in his right hand. The horse is standing next to him, its head bent down to drink from the bucket. The background of the image is a simple landscape with hills and trees. The image is an etching, which gives it a detailed and textured appearance. The artist has used a range of tones to create depth and contrast in the image, from the dark shadows under the horse's belly to the light highlights on its back. The artist who created this image is Alphonse Legros, a French painter and etcher who was active during the Romantic period.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
