Associated Names
Alphonse Legros

Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The drawing depicts a person's upper body facing left. The person is standing with their head covered by a hood, slightly tilted downward, and with one hand partially visible in front of them. The facial features are sketched with minimal detail, showing a generally Caucasian profile with a defined nose and slightly pursed lips. The person is wearing a long, flowing cloak or robe that drapes down to the ground, obscuring their body apart from the outlined hand. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain and unembellished, with a light, solid color contrasting the pencil or sketch-like lines of the cloak.
