A La Fontaine, Alger 1901

"A La Fontaine, Alger" is a 1901 oil painting by Paul Leroy depicting a young woman feeding a goat by a stream. This charming scene, likely inspired by the French poet Jean de La Fontaine, showcases Leroy's skill in capturing the warmth of natural light. The delicate brushstrokes give the painting a sense of gentle realism, while the soft colors, including the young woman's pink dress and the goat's brown and white fur, add to the romantic atmosphere. This work is representative of Leroy's style, known for its idyllic depictions of rural life.
