"The House of the Well" is a print by French artist Alphonse Legros (1837-1911). It depicts a rural landscape scene, showcasing a line of trees in the foreground, with a cluster of foliage and two figures in the middle ground, and a vast, open sky in the background. The scene is rendered in a realistic style with a focus on light and shadow and a sense of depth. Legros's use of hatching and cross-hatching to create the effect of light and shadow further emphasizes the sense of depth. This piece is characteristic of Legros's work, which frequently incorporated themes of nature and rural life.
