G.F. Watts, R.A. 

This etching, created by French artist Alphonse Legros, is a portrait of G.F. Watts, a prominent British painter and sculptor. Legros, known for his mastery of printmaking, captures Watts with a striking realism, emphasizing his distinguished features. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts of light and shadow, adds depth to the portrait, highlighting Watts's prominent beard and the folds of his clothing. The simple composition and the focus on the sitter's face create a sense of intimacy and evoke Watts's intellectual and artistic presence.
