Legras is one of the four master glassmakers at the foundation of Art Nouveau with Galle, Daum and Lalique. Very wide variety of work with varied shapes and decorations. The most used decorative themes were landscapes, flowers and fauna which was no doubt influenced by his childhood spent in a very small hamlet, surrounded by nature in the heart of the forest of Darney.
