The Meadow Gate c. 1885

"The Meadow Gate" is an etching created by the French artist Alphonse Legros around 1885. The print depicts a simple rural scene, a gate leading to a field with a distant view of a village and rolling hills, capturing the artist's fascination with landscape and nature. The use of soft, tonal lines and hatching give the artwork a sense of atmospheric depth. This print is currently part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
