Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person's head and upper shoulders seen in a side profile. The person is seated or upright, facing left, with distinct facial features including a prominent nose and deep-set eyes. They have a high forehead with sparse hair pulled back under a small cap. The individual appears older with angular features, visible cheekbones, and a defined jawline. They are wearing a simple robe loosely draped around the shoulders and neck. The background is plain, emphasizing the detailed sketch of the figure.
