From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Winter, 1st plate (L'hiver) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a person carrying a large log on their shoulder. The person is wearing a hat, a long-sleeved shirt, and shorts. They are walking on a path with their right foot forward. The background is dark, with some lines suggesting trees or hills. The person's body is bent forward, and their face is not visible. The log is long and thin, and it appears to be heavy. The person's clothing is simple, and their hat is pulled low over their face. This painting is a great example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and individualism.
