"Peasant at the Source" is a drawing by the French artist Alphonse Legros. The drawing depicts a peasant woman sitting on a rock by a waterfall. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the drawing. The woman's pose and the way her gaze is cast downward suggests a sense of contemplation or even melancholy. This work is characteristic of Legros's style which often featured working-class subjects in rural settings.
