The Hearth (Le foyer) 

"The Hearth (Le foyer)" is an etching by the French artist Alphonse Legros, known for his stark realism and social commentary. The print depicts a family huddled around a fireplace, with a man standing in the shadows while a woman sits in a chair, and a third figure leaning against the hearth. The use of dark tones and scratchy lines creates a sense of somber intimacy, highlighting the themes of poverty and hardship that characterized Legros's work.
