Study of a Figure 1837 - 1911

"Study of a Figure" is a pencil drawing created by Alphonse Legros between 1837 and 1911. The drawing depicts a seated male figure, rendered in a realistic style with subtle shading and meticulous detail. Legros was known for his skillful use of line and his exploration of human form. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to his technical expertise and interest in anatomical study, a hallmark of academic art.
