ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Cardinal Manning, 3rd plate is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is a portrait of a man with a serious expression, wearing a hat and a robe. The man's face is the main focus of the image, with his eyes cast downward. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to draw attention to the subject's face. The artist has used a drypoint technique to create the image, which gives it a sense of depth and texture. The lines are bold and expressive, adding to the overall mood of the painting. The painting is a great example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and individualism.
