"Tornado (Le typhon)" is a black and white etching by Alphonse Legros, depicting a scene of hardship and struggle amidst a natural disaster. The print features two figures, likely women, struggling with a fallen tree amidst a forceful wind and bending trees. The use of stark lines and shading conveys the raw power of the storm and the figures' valiant efforts to endure the ordeal. Legros was a renowned printmaker, his work often explored themes of poverty, nature, and the human condition, making "Tornado" a powerful representation of both the beauty and brutality of the natural world.
