In the Forest (Lisiere de foret) 

"In the Forest (Lisiere de foret)" is a black and white etching by the French artist Alphonse Legros, known for his realistic and often melancholic depictions of rural life. This print captures a solitary scene of a forest edge, with sunlight filtering through the trees and casting long shadows on the ground. The artist's meticulous detail and use of cross-hatching create a sense of depth and texture, immersing the viewer in the dense atmosphere of the woodland. The print reflects Legros's interest in the beauty of the natural world, and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of light and shade.
