Introduction:
On this page you will find an impression of the 25 art-works that Alphonse Legros exhibited at the 2nd ‘impressionist’ exposition of 1876. Some say he only exhibited etchings and lithographs (R90II,p39;R90I,p71), but others are less sure about that (R2,p178). For one litho I couldn’t find a suggestion (no.83-5-2). Sometimes I render more than one suggestion. I render the pictures by form and in a more thematical order. See the link for an account. See link for an explanation of the subscriptions. See for the used sources below at the main page about Alphonse Legros. Note: If you double click on the first (of a cluster of) pictures and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. On a smartphone or laptop you can also zoom in. Enjoy!
