Alphonse Legros

Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image shows a person seated on a bench, leaning forward with their head resting on their left arm. Their face is partially obscured by their arm, revealing a scruffy beard and high cheekbones. The person's hair is curly and disheveled. They are wearing a loose-fitting garment that drapes over their body, with the material gathered at the elbows. The person's right hand holds a circular object. Their left leg is crossed over their right knee, partially obscuring the bottom half. Their legs appear to be wearing stockings, and they have shoes on their feet. The background is plain, with the bench providing horizontal texture.
