Rest 

"Rest" is a red chalk drawing by the French artist Alphonse Legros, known for his realist style. This particular drawing depicts a shepherd resting beneath a tree with his flock visible in the distance. The delicate hatching technique of the artist contributes to the soft, almost dream-like atmosphere, capturing a moment of tranquility in the rural landscape. The work highlights the quiet and solitary nature of the shepherd's life. Legros's focus on the common man, like the shepherd in this work, resonated with audiences of his time.
