Head of a Man Facing Left 

This drawing, "Head of a Man Facing Left," created by Alphonse Legros, showcases the artist's mastery of anatomical detail and expressive linework. The subject's face, rendered in profile, displays a striking realism with emphasis on the strong lines of the nose and chin. The delicate hatching technique employed by Legros adds depth and texture to the drawing, contributing to the sense of volume and life in the work. Legros, known for his stark and often melancholic depictions of the human figure, captured the sitter's essence with a sensitivity and power that characterized his artistic style.
