Alphonse Legros, a 19th-century artist known for his realist depictions of everyday life, created this etching titled "Breton Peasant (Paysan breton)". The artwork portrays an older man, likely a farmer or laborer, from the Brittany region of France, his weathered face and worn clothing suggesting a life of hard work. Legros' use of strong lines and hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the subject's rough features and the worn fabric of his clothes. His works often explored social themes and portrayed the lives of the working class.
