Study of a Head 

Alphonse Legros, a prominent French artist of the 19th century, created a detailed pencil drawing titled "Study of a Head." The artwork showcases a close-up view of an older man’s head, with his profile facing the right. His long beard and hair are meticulously rendered with fine lines. Legros's keen eye for anatomical detail is evident in the lifelike portrayal of the sitter, highlighting the artist's dedication to the study of human form. This drawing exemplifies the artist's mastery of realism and his interest in capturing the nuanced expressions and textures of his subjects.
