Mlle. Simpson

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image is a detailed pencil drawing showing a head portrait. The focus is on the face, emphasizing the eyes and gentle expression. The individual is depicted in a frontal pose, facing directly forward. The hairstyle features short, soft waves and curls framing the face. The eyebrows are well-defined, and the lips are gently closed, contributing to the serene expression. Clothing is barely visible, with only a suggestion of a high collar at the base of the neck. The background is plain off-white. No visible jewelry or objects are present. The signature "A. Legros" is noted in the upper right corner.
