Alfred, Lord Tennyson is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a portrait of a man with a long white beard and a wide-brimmed hat. He is wearing a dark jacket over a lighter-colored shirt. The background is a plain, off-white color. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall effect of the portrait is one of quiet contemplation.
