"Since Then" ("Depuis ce temps-la") 

Alphonse Legros's etching, "Since Then", depicts a solitary, weathered man sitting under a tree. The man's worn clothing and slumped posture suggest a life of hardship. The etching's spare lines and subtle shading convey a sense of loneliness and quiet reflection, reminiscent of the artist's signature style. The title, "Since Then", invites contemplation about the man's past experiences and the passage of time. This evocative print, created by the influential French artist Alphonse Legros (1837-1911), is a poignant example of Realist art.
