1861
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Alphonse Legros is a 1861 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This portrait painting features a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a dark jacket over a lighter-colored shirt. His hair is curly and dark, and he is looking to the right. The background is a light color, with some darker shading on the left side. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking at something in the distance. His hair and beard are well-defined, and his clothing is rendered in detail. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The painting is an example of Realism, a movement that emphasized accurate and detailed depictions of everyday life. To learn more about this movement, look up Impressionism.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
