Thomas Okey, Esq.

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a drawing of a person's head and upper shoulders in a frontal portrait style. The person has distinct facial features, including a strong jawline, well-proportioned nose, and deep-set eyes. The hair is neatly styled with a slight wave. The individual is dressed in a collared shirt or jacket, possibly wearing a tie. Details of the clothing are sketched with minimal intricacy. No jewelry is visible. The background is plain, emphasizing the person's face and upper body. The artist's signature "A. Legros" and the date "1903" are inscribed in the upper right corner of the image.
