Avenue of Poplars (L'allee de peupliers) 

Alphonse Legros's *Avenue of Poplars (L'allee de peupliers)* is a black and white etching that depicts a line of tall, thin trees extending into the distance. The dark lines used in the etching emphasize the texture of the bark and leaves, highlighting the visual contrast between the rough bark and the smooth, open space in the background. The image is a classic example of landscape etching, a genre that was popular in the 19th century. The simple composition and meticulous detail contribute to the overall peaceful and serene mood of the artwork.
