Choirmaster (Le maitre de chapelle) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man sitting at a desk, looking down at some papers in front of him. He has long hair and a beard, and is wearing a dark robe. The background is dark, and there are some papers on the desk. The man's face is serious, and he seems to be concentrating on what he's reading. His hands are resting on the desk, and he's leaning forward slightly. The overall mood of the painting is quiet and contemplative. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
