Mme. Kemp, 4th plate

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person's head and upper shoulders. The individual is facing slightly to the left with their face in a side profile. The facial features include rounded eyes, a straight nose, and a closed mouth, surrounded by a few wrinkles. The person's hair is pulled back in a bun at the top of the head. They are wearing a high-collared garment with a visible band or clasp at the neckline. The background is plain with shading and cross-hatching for texture around the head.
