Peasant in a Round Hat (Paysan avec chapeau rond)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch of a person's head and shoulders in a slightly downward angle. The person has their head bowed and eyes looking downwards, with delicately rendered facial features, including a prominent nose and closed eyes, and long, wavy hair falling around their face. They are wearing a wide-brimmed hat that covers the top of their head and casts a shadow over their eyes, as well as a simple, flowing garment with a vertical line pattern. There is no visible jewelry or objects, and the background is plain. Initials "A. L" and a signature "A. Legros" are present in the corners of the image.
