Head of a Man (Tete d'homme)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a man's head and partial upper torso in a frontal position. The man has his head tilted slightly to one side, with distinct facial features including closed eyes, prominent cheekbones, a straight nose, and a full, textured beard blending into his short, wavy hair. He appears serene with fine line work accentuating his hair and beard. The man seems unclothed, with bare shoulders visible at the bottom of the image. There are no additional objects, and the background is a plain, blank canvas emphasizing the man's face and upper chest.
