Head of a Young Man

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image is a detailed pencil drawing of a person's head and upper shoulders. The figure is slightly turned to one side with their gaze directed downward. The facial features include prominent cheekbones, a straight nose, and a soft expression. The person has short, neatly styled parted hair and a subtle mustache. There are no visible clothing details, only bare shoulders blending into the background. There are no visible jewelry or objects held. The background is a plain textured surface. An inscription or signature is visible at the top right corner.
