Dominant colour
Auguste Delâtre is a 1877 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white sketch of a man with a thick mustache and wavy hair. He’s wearing a collared shirt and a jacket with a textured, almost woven look. His gaze is steady, and the lines around his face show careful shading. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to suggest fabric and facial details. This style fits the loose, expressive approach of Realism. Next, check out Alphonse Legros to see more of his work.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
