Landscape (Paysage) 

Alphonse Legros's "Landscape (Paysage)" is a stark black and white etching of a forest scene. The trees are depicted in a highly stylized manner, their bark and branches appearing as a series of dark lines, contrasting sharply with the light, hazy background. This use of line and shadow creates a sense of depth and mystery, enhancing the overall mood of the piece. The subject matter of the etching, a simple woodland scene, speaks to Legros's interest in the natural world and his ability to translate complex forms into an accessible visual language.
