As is often the case in the art of Alphonse Legros, filled with the poetry of remembrance, this print resonates very sensitively with the drawing in pen, pencil and brown wash by the same artist, also presented on Proantic. These are two works which echo each other, in the same atmosphere, in two different graphic techniques.
