Choirmaster (Le maitre de chapelle) 

"Choirmaster" is a print by the French artist Alphonse Legros, renowned for his mastery of etching. The artwork depicts a bearded man seated at a table, intently studying sheet music. Legros's masterful use of chiaroscuro, the interplay of light and shadow, creates a dramatic and intimate atmosphere, highlighting the figure's concentration. The artist's signature in the lower right corner adds a personal touch to this poignant portrayal of a musician's dedication to his craft.
