Study for Head of a Man (Etude de tete d'homme)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

This is a detailed line drawing of a man's head and shoulders. The man is slightly turned to his left, showing a three-quarter profile view of his face. His facial features are emphasized, including deep-set eyes, furrowed brows, wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes, a full beard and mustache, and short, receding hair. The drawing has a plain background with no other elements present.
