Alphonse Legros

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a man sitting on what appears to be a stone or rock outcropping. The man has short hair and a beard and mustache. He is shirtless and wearing a cloth wrapped around his waist. The man sits with his left leg bent and his right leg straight, with his right arm resting on his right knee and his left arm resting on his left thigh. To his left is a jug with a handle. Behind the man is a wall made of large, rectangular stones. The wall has a flat top and appears to be made of rough-hewn blocks. The drawing is signed "A. Legros" in the top-right corner. The title of the piece is "Job (First Plate)" and the artist is Alphonse Legros.
