"Fishing for Crayfish" (Les pecheurs d'ecrevisses) is a detailed etching created by the French artist Alphonse Legros in the 19th century. The artwork depicts two figures, one male and one female, in a rural landscape. The man is carefully fishing for crayfish in a shallow body of water, while the woman observes from the bank. Legros's distinctive style is evident in the use of stark contrasts and hatching to create a sense of depth and texture, making this an excellent example of his work. The etching is likely part of a series of works depicting the simple life of rural workers, a subject that Legros explored throughout his career.
