Bend in the River (Un coin de riviere) 

This etching, "Bend in the River," by Alphonse Legros, depicts a peaceful scene of a lone figure in a boat on a calm river. The composition is dominated by the large tree on the right, its dense foliage creating a sense of depth and shadow. The figure in the boat is rendered in delicate lines, suggesting a sense of solitude and tranquility. Legros, a master of etching, utilized the technique to capture the subtle nuances of light and shadow, creating a sense of atmospheric realism.
