This etching by Alphonse Legros, titled *Plate made for an Exhibition at the Dunthorne Home*, was designed as an invitation for an exhibition held in 1891 at the Rembrandt Head Gallery. The artist was a leading proponent of the Realist movement and known for his detailed, expressive works. The composition features a simple woodland scene, possibly a forest clearing, with a dark, rough, expressive line suggesting the gnarled branches of trees and the shadowy figures of the forest. This image is a prime example of Legros's skill in etching and his ability to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.
