1880
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Self-Portrait (Third Plate) is a 1880 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a man with a long, dark beard and mustache, wearing a light-colored shirt with a collar. His hair is short and dark, and he is looking directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is a solid, light color. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking deeply into the distance. His beard and mustache are well-groomed, and his shirt is buttoned up to the neck. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation.
