Professor John Marshall (1818–1891), FRS, Surgeon is a 1890 oil by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This portrait painting features a man with a long, gray beard and mustache, dressed in a dark jacket over a white shirt. His hair is gray and styled in a neat, side-parted manner. The background of the painting is a warm, brown color. The subject's facial expression is serious, with a hint of introspection. His eyes seem to be gazing downward, as if lost in thought. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the works of Alphonse Legros.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
