Thinker (Le penseur) 

Alphonse Legros’s etching, *Thinker (Le penseur)*, depicts a solitary figure seated and lost in thought. The work was likely created during the artist's prolific period between 1837 and 1911. The subject’s posture and the deeply etched lines convey a sense of melancholy and contemplation. Legros was a renowned artist known for his realist depictions of everyday life, often featuring impoverished figures and scenes of hardship. This print, though not dated, exemplifies his signature style and invites viewers to reflect on the human condition.
