E.R. Hughes

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image includes a pencil-drawn, profile-only depiction of a person's face on a coin or medallion. The individual is shown in a left-profile view with short hair and a neatly groomed moustache. The facial expression is calm with features suggesting a mature man. The person is wearing a high-collared shirt or coat. Surrounding the medallion are inscriptions of the person's name and a possible title or profession. Below this larger medallion is a smaller circular design with text reading "THE EYE TO SEE, THE HEART TO FEEL, THE HAND TO FOLLOW." The background of the image is plain and consists of a shaded pencil-like texture surrounding the medallions.
