Portrait of Madame Kemp in Profile (2nd Plate) is a 1892 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a pencil drawing of a woman in profile. She is facing left, and her hair is pulled back into a bun. The drawing is done in a range of grays, from light to dark. The woman's features are detailed, with a prominent nose and chin. Her eyes are cast downward, and her mouth is set in a serious expression. The background of the drawing is a plain gray, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The Cleveland Museum of Art is home to many works by Alphonse Legros, the artist who created this piece.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
