Head of a Man 1837 - 1911

"Head of a Man" is a red chalk drawing by Alphonse Legros, created between 1837 and 1911. The drawing depicts a man's head in profile, with a prominent nose and a long, flowing beard. Legros was known for his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through his precise and sensitive line work. This drawing, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, demonstrates Legros's talent for portraying the human form with both realism and emotion.
