Head of a Man (Tete d'homme)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person in profile. The person has strong facial features with a pronounced jawline, full lips, and wavy hair that covers the ears and flows down to the nape of the neck. They are looking upward and to the side. The sketch fades away from the shoulders down, and there are no clothing, jewelry, or objects depicted. The background is plain, emphasizing the detailed line work of the person's facial features and hair.
