La mort du vagabond

Alphonse Legros 1837 - 1911

Summary

A melancholy scene of a dying man in a landscape with a tree. The man is lying back against a mound with his head tilted back, his eyes closed and his mouth open. He appears disheveled and is not wearing shoes; a small shoulder bag is by his side and his hat has fallen off his head. He is positioned in the right foreground, facing slightly towards the left. The tree grows up from where he is lying to the top left corner of the composition. The tree itself looks dead, and it has wild grasses growing around its trunk.
