M. Champfleury

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a man. The man's upper body is visible, down to just below his shoulders. He is facing slightly to the right of the frame, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has a mustache, small round glasses, short combed-back hair, and is wearing formal attire, including a suit, a faintly sketched shirt, and what appears to be a cravat or bow tie. The drawing is done in a sketch-like manner, with soft lines and shading. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain and neutral. In the lower right corner, the drawing is signed "A. Legros 1875."
