Etchings and Drypoints by Alphonse Legros

The image shows a man seated at a desk. He is hunched slightly forward, absorbed in his activities. His facial features include a prominent nose and a beard, and he has a bald head. He is wearing a long-sleeved garment. On the desk in front of him are various papers, a quill, a large open book, and a globe beside a stack of books. The wall behind is dark, and there is a window with a lattice design, through which light appears to be coming in.
Alphonse Legros, Geographer (Le geographe), drypoint, Gift of George Matthew Adams in memory of his mother, Lydia Havens Adams, 1950.4.44
