Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833–1898) is a 1890 oil by Alphonse Legros, a Realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This portrait shows a man with a long, light-colored beard and hair. He is wearing a dark jacket over a lighter-colored shirt. The background is a muted gray color. The subject's face is the focal point of the painting, with his eyes cast downward. His expression is calm and introspective. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this work, look up Alphonse Legros.
