Alphonse Legros

Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image displays a seated man, captured from the waist up. He is slightly turned to the left, with his head tilted back and gaze directed upward. The man has a prominent nose, closed eyes, full beard and mustache, short hair, and is dressed in a long-sleeved garment with a vest. His hands are in his lap, with one hand holding a round, flat object, perhaps a hat. The background is a textured wall with cross-hatched shading, suggesting indoor lighting casting shadows.
