This lithograph by French artist Alphonse Legros, titled "Portrait of G. F. Watts, R.A.," is a striking depiction of the prominent British artist George Frederic Watts, known for his allegorical and portrait paintings. Legros, a prominent figure in the Realist movement, captures Watts's thoughtful demeanor and dignified presence in a highly detailed and subtly textured style characteristic of his work. Created in 1894, this print is a fine example of Legros's mastery of black and white and a testament to his ability to capture the essence of his subject. It is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
