Sir Charles Holroyd

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man in profile view, with a strong facial profile featuring prominent cheekbones and a sharp nose. His hair is neatly styled, combed back and appears wavy. He is wearing a collared garment, possibly a suit, with a large bow or cravat tied at the neck. The artwork is a detailed monochrome presentation, possibly an etching or line drawing. The plain background directs focus on the subject. There are no visible jewelry, and the simplicity of the background enhances the portrait's classical style.
