Alphonse Legros

Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image shows a group of figures and trees in a dynamic scene. The horizon is not visible, and the composition is filled with trees and human figures interacting with their surroundings. The style is detailed with controlled linework, cross-hatching for texture, and a monochrome color palette of sepia or brown. Closest to us are two figures, with one crouched holding sticks and the other in motion. Beyond them are more figures and contorted trees, with rough landscape elements in the background.
