Poet (Le poete) 

Alphonse Legros's *Poet (Le poete)* is a powerful, expressive portrait executed in the style of realism. The print shows a man with a full beard, a somber expression, and deep-set eyes, suggesting intellect and contemplation. Legros’s art often focused on the lives of everyday people and the working class, and *Poet* is a fine example of this. The tonal quality and textural detail emphasize the subject's ruggedness and inner strength, making this a compelling work for art-lovers.
