Large Spaniard (Le grand Espagnol)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a bust of an older man portrayed from the waist up, in a seated position and turned slightly to his right. The man has a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, high cheekbones, and a serious expression. His hair is short, tousled, and receding. He is dressed in a buttoned vest and a cloak draped over his shoulders. The man is not wearing any visible jewelry or holding any objects. The background is plain, directing focus to the man's portrait.
